In the Czech Republic, in the Moravian-Silesian region, the only schools with language of instruction different to Czech, established as public with a long time tradition, have been schools with Polish as a language of instruction. Czech has been taught as a specific subject since the 2nd grade, and even if the reading literacy has been developed both in lessons of Polish and Czech, we as researchers have been interested in finding out how the teachers develop the reading literacy in the lessons of Czech when teaching particularly the 2nd graders.
We decided to explore this in terms of qualitative methodology, using observations to describe the teachers' actions, analysis of learning materials the teachers use to support the literacy development, and semi-structured interviews with the teachers to have a deeper insight into their personal approach to this issue. The number of teachers we have observed and interviewed is 8, their work has been monitored throughout 40 lessons.
The presentation brings forward results obtained mainly from the observation data analysis, which we would like to discuss.
