Resumo

Objetivo: avaliar o efeito das férias na fluência leitora de escolares do Ensino Fundamental I. Método: estudo observacional longitudinal analítico. 98 escolares do 2° ao 5° ano do Ensino Fundamental realizaram a leitura de textos adequados à escolaridade antes e após as férias entre 2022 e 2024. Comparou-se o desempenho dos mesmos alunos nos dois períodos e a progressão da velocidade de leitura entre as séries durante o ano. Utilizou-se o teste T pareado para a avaliação do desempenho de leitura nos diferentes momentos, o teste T para a análise da progressão, e para calcular o tamanho de efeito, o teste d de Cohen. Resultados: Os achados evidenciam uma melhora nas medidas de velocidade de leitura entre o início e o fim do ano escolar. No entanto, também apontam diferença com relevância estatística ao comparar pré e pós férias prolongadas, indicando declínio do desempenho pós-férias, exceto para os alunos na transição do 2º para o 3º ano, em que as práticas de treino de leitura se mantiveram constantes. Os achados reforçam a importância de estratégias pedagógicas que incentivem a manutenção da leitura durante as férias. Conclusão: O presente estudo evidenciou o impacto negativo do Efeito das Férias no desempenho da fluência leitora nos escolares do 3°, 4° e 5° anos Ensino Fundamental I, que apresentaram um declínio na habilidade após o período das férias escolares prolongadas.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of vacations on the reading fluency of elementary school students. Methods: This analytical, longitudinal, observational study included 98 students from 2nd to 5th grades, who read texts appropriate for their school year before and after vacations between 2022 and 2024. The performance of the same students in both periods and the progression of reading speed between grades throughout the year were compared. The paired t-test was used to assess reading performance at different time points, the t-test to analyze progression, and Cohen’s d test to calculate the effect size. Results: The findings show an improvement in reading speed measures between the beginning and end of the school year. However, they also point to a statistically significant difference between before and after extended vacations, indicating a decline in post-vacation performance – except for students going from 2nd to 3rd grade, whose reading practice remained constant. The findings reinforce the importance of pedagogical strategies to encourage continued reading during vacation. Conclusion: This study highlighted the negative impact of the vacation effect on reading fluency performance among 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade students, whose reading fluency declined after the extended school vacation.
