I denna uppsats analyseras tre läromedel för kursen svenska 1. Tanken bakom analyserna är att se efter huruvida man gör nivåskillnader i elevers läsförmåga och läsförståelse beroende på om de går yrkesförberedande program eller högskoleförberedande program på gymnasiet, samt om man kan se vilka didaktiska inslag som finns med för att stimulera elevernas inre motivation. Det visar sig att det är mycket stor skillnad i hur många olika skönlitterära texter som eleverna förväntas läsa beroende på yrkes eller högskoleförberedande program samt att nivåskillnaden i förväntad analysförmåga är stor i uppgifterna som är kopplade till det lästa. Detta är något man borde reagera kraftigare på med tanke på att eleverna läser samma kurs, men beroende på vilket läromedel de får utefter vilket program de går utmanas de på helt olika nivåer. Detta innebär att två tonåringar som läser samma kurs inte kommer att varken utmanas eller få chansen till att utveckla sina kunskaper i samma utsträckning. In this essay, three teaching materials are analyzed for the course Swedish 1. The idea behind the analyzes is to look at whether you make differences in students' reading ability and reading comprehension depending on whether they attend vocational programs or college preparatory programs in high school, and if you can see what didactic elements are available to stimulate students' inner motivation. It turns out that there is a very big difference in how many different fiction texts the students are expected to read depending on the vocational or university preparatory program and that the level difference in expected analytical ability is large in the tasks that are linked to what is read. This is something you should react more strongly to given that the students read the same course, but depending on what teaching material they receive according to which program they go to, they are challenged at completely different levels. This means that two teenagers who take the same course will not be challenged or given the chance to develop their knowledge to the same extent.

The results for the Swedish children and adolelscents in International surveys of literacy has since 2009 indicated a decrease. The aim of this thesis is to examine if there is a correlation between the education achievement and the level of reading comprehension for students at the upper secondary school. Vocational programmes and programmes preparing for higher education are compared. The scores and marks of two different reading comprehension tests and the average score for 58 students from a public upper secondary school has been studied and compared. The results shows development for students with a weak reading comprehension on both programmes and comparative good study achievments. Students with the highest measured reading comprehension shows higher study achievements but with an overall lesser impact in the vocational programmes compared to the programmes preparing for higher studies. There is no significant level difference in grades between the vocational compared to the theoretical courses. The reading test indicates to a greater extent accordance with the study achievement compared with the national exam. The existing differences between the reading test and the national exam may be explained by the elements of open answers in the national exam. The study indicates that girls at the programmes preparing for higher education with weak reading comprehension develops more and achieve higher results compared to the boys in the same group.
