Abstract

Purpose: to characterize and compare the reading fluency performance of public- and private-school fifth-grade students.

Methods: a total of 44 elementary-school fifth-grade students of both sexes, aged 10 to 11 years, participated in the study and were divided into Group I (GI, with 25 public-school students) and Group II (GII, with 19 private school students). They were submitted to the Assessment of Reading Fluency Performance (ADFLU). The performance analysis was based on the number of correct words per minute, incorrect words per minute, total reading time, and reading speed. The data analysis was made with statistical tests, with significance set at p-value ≤0.05, for the inter- and intra-group comparisons.

Results: in the analysis per group, there was a significant difference in the total reading time between the texts in GI, and in the reading speed between the texts, in GII. In the comparison between the groups, all variables had a significant difference, with a better performance in GII.

Conclusion: the reading fluency performance of public- and private-school fifth-graders was characterized. The performance of the private-school students was superior to that of the public-school students.

Resumo

Objetivo: caracterizar e comparar o desempenho em fluência de leitura de escolares do 5º ano do ensino público e privado.

Métodos: participaram deste estudo 44 escolares do 5° ano do ensino fundamental, de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 10 e 11 anos, divididos em Grupo I (GI) 25 do ensino público e Grupo II (GII) 19 do ensino privado. Os escolares foram submetidos à Avaliação do Desempenho em Fluência de Leitura - ADFLU. A análise do desempenho foi realizada pelo número de palavras corretas por minuto, palavras incorretas por minuto, tempo total de leitura e velocidade de leitura. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizado testes estatísticos com valor de p ≤0,05, para a comparação inter e intragrupo.

Resultados: na análise por grupo, houve diferença significativa para o tempo total de leitura entre os textos em GI e para a velocidade de leitura entre os textos no GII. Na comparação entre os grupos, todas as variáveis apresentaram diferença significativa, com melhor desempenho em GII.

Conclusão: foi possível caracterizar o desempenho em fluência de leitura dos escolares do 5º ano do ensino público e privado, sendo o desempenho dos escolares da rede privada superior aos escolares da rede pública quando comparados.
