Abstract
In the Czech Republic there are used two methods in reading education: the analytical-synthetic method (conventional) and the genetic method. These are based on different theoretic foundations, unequal is also methodology and the pedagogical approach.Between the years 2008 -- 2010 there was a research which was focused on verifying the so-called preventive intervention model of care of pupils with specific learning disabilities.
It also included mapping of the differences in development of reading abilities of children from stated methods. The reading test have been used, respecting the diagnostic principle: in the Czech language the development of understanding is being supported as it is a transparent language.
That's why each tests have character of short texts. The paper deals with the developmental dynamics of cultivation of reading skills in both methods (N=452) on the beginning of education, compares main differences in the individual parametres of reading abilities (the speed of reading, reading technique, reading comprehension, error rate in reading) of first and second grade pupils.
The paper also points out methodologically incorrect procedures which are being used in this particular area for evaluation of reading skills and it also emphasizes the importance of school reading environment for diagnosis of reading skills
