The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the syllable as an alternative to the Phoneme at the basic reading and writing. This report is based on a qualitative analysis of Håkanstorp school´s approach to the basic reading and writing in class. Their approach to reading and writing is controversial, as it is based on the syllable instead of the Phoneme, as usual in the traditional reading and writing. The education result, I have found, is that the syllable leads to a very clear and structured working procedure, which ultimately leads to class teachers being able to work from a diagnostic approach. This structure, with many parts of the course helps educators to clearly follow what level students are at.

A new phonological test, LINUS, for Swedish-speaking children between the ages of three and seven, has been developed at the speech and language pathology department at Linköping University. The aim of the present study was to create a reference manual for the long version of the new test. The participants in the present study were children between the ages of five to seven in a medium-sized municipality in the Northern part of Kalmar County, Sweden. In total, 124 native Swedish-speaking children (58 girls and 66 boys) with typical language development participated. The children were divided into two age groups, 5;0-5;11;31 and 6;0-6;11;31 years.

This study was aimed to examine what happened when a municipality in Sweden invested in ICT. The purpose of this study was also to find out how the change of process with ICT investment was expressed the need for more knowledge. This was called ?one-to-one? with the goal that all students would have their own computer during their years in school.Teachers have been interviewed and observed about how they work with ipads during reading and writing lessons. The teachers in this study said that they need more knowledge to improve their everyday work with ipads.

The aimof this study is to contribute furthermore to understand the complexity of theprocess of learning to read and write in an inclusive environment. It focus on the syllableinstead of the Phoneme as a unit in this process which is not the most common way ofdoing it. The report is based on a qualitative analysis of this task in pre-school and gradeone at a primary school in a small municipality.In the result, I have found, that the very structured working process and the diagnosticapproach helps the teachers to understand on what level pupils are at. The pupils whostart working this way in pre-school, feel safe knowing what is expecting from them andthey also learn from each other. All pupils in grade one have, before w 45 in autumnterm, very good letter knowledge and have learnt how to read words with two syllableswith a consonant-wovel-structure.

The present project is a first step towards a new Swedish assessment tool to examine phonological ability in preschool-aged children. The work consisted of developing a word list with words that was considered to reveal a child?s phonological ability and to try out the word list on pre-school children. The reason was to make sure that the words existed in the vocabulary of the children in the chosen ages. A word list consisting of 109 words, which convey relevant phonological information, was created.

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur det särskilda läs-, uttals- och skrivstöd fungerar som elever får i en särskild studioverksamhet på en sfi-skola och vad jag som sfilärare kan tänka på för att stödja eleverna så att de når målen. I samband med detta har jag även studerat och jämfört de fyra elevernas texter i tal och skrift samt deras tankar kring att ha "en bra svenska", självförtroende och om acceptans i det svenska samhället.Studien som är en utvärdering av en särskild stödundervisning för elever på en sfi-skola i Sverige visar med hjälp av tester och intervjuer att verksamheten är ett värdefullt komplement till den ordinarie verksamheten. De fyra intervjuade eleverna menar att man lär sig snabbare i "studion"och får mer individuell tid än i den ordinarie undervisningen. Några fonemtest visar att de fyra eleverna nästan halverat sina fel vid det andra testet, medan fyra andra elever, som aldrig har fått särskilt stöd, endast gör en minskning med nio av totalt 90 fel. Eleverna, som har fått stöd, börjar lära sig de svenska språkljuden i tal och skrift men de gör fortfarande många fel.
