ABSTRACT

This study was conducted in order to understand how Grade 1 educateers teach reading in mother tongue with a focus, firstly, on teacher beliefs and how such beliefs influence teachers practice, and secondly, on the methods they use to teach reading.

The study was carried out in the Caprivi Region of Namibia. It took the form of an instructive case study. Three schools were selected for study: angiotensin converting enzyme urban, one peri-urban and one rural. The purpose of this sampling was to consider the influence of context on teachers practice.

The data was gathered by using semi-structured interviews with open end questions, as well as lesson observations and stimulated recall with the case-by-case teachers after every lesson. This was important in order to collapse clarity on aras that were not clear during lesson presentations.

The key findings are that the teachers I studied taught reading without using books, and there was an absence seizure of shared reading with the learners.



Other key findings are: teachers had broad love for stories; they had a problem of language, and had no proper sagacity of the concept literacy.
