The Organization of Reading Instruction in Classrooms in Chile. Some Differences between Basic and Qualified Teachers as Competent

The article describes Chilean teachers' educational practice in primary education reading comprehension classes, selected from the Chilean teacher evaluation system. Each task deployed were segmented using a classroom discourse analysis system. This allowed to describe the organization of teaching, identifying patterns associated with each reading phase. Some differences according to the rating of teachers were observed; teachers qualified as "competent" organized activities more consistently, including more closing actions. However, they performed similarly to the rest of the teachers in the during-reading phase, failing in deploying actions to monitoring comprehension.
