Résumé
Nous décrivons ici le processus de mise à l’essai de deux nouvelles méthodes d’enseignement de la compréhension en lecture destinées aux lecteurs débutants de milieu défavorisé. Dans l’étude 1, six classes de deuxième année du primaire ont été assignées à l’une de trois conditions : contrôle (enseignement régulier seulement), vocabulaire ou stratégie. Bien que les élèves des conditions intervention aient réalisé des apprentissages, ces gains ne se sont pas transférés aux mesures de compréhension. Dans l’étude 2, nous avons testé une version modifiée des méthodes d’enseignement en utilisant un schème similaire à celui de l’étude 1. Les résultats de l’étude 2 suggèrent que les méthodes d’enseignement sont suffisamment prometteuses pour évaluer leur efficacité de manière formelle.

Abstract
We provide here a detailed description of the piloting of two new methods for teaching reading comprehension to beginning readers from low-income households. In Study 1, six second-grade classrooms were assigned to a control (regular teaching activities only), a vocabulary, or a strategy condition. Gains were observed for the students in the two intervention conditions, but these did not facilitate comprehension. In Study 2, an improved version of the teaching methods was tested using a design identical to the one used in Study 1. Results from Study 2 suggest that the methods are promising enough to warrant a formal evaluation of their effectiveness.
