S Three issues were examined in this study: (a) how reading to a first‐grade class of children requiring enhancement (who may be identifiable as socially and culturally challenged) affects their achievement in decoding, reading comprehension, and storytelling; (b) how reading stories out of a series written by one author affects their achievement as compared with reading isolated stories; and, (c) how reading different types of literature affects the amount of voluntary reading. Fifteen Israeli first‐grade classes (339 participants) were randomly divided into four treatment groups, three experimental groups and one control group. The first group (four classes) listened to stories (published in school readers) by different authors. The second group (four classes) listened to stories by one author. The third group (three classes) listened in installments to a multiple‐volume series of stories written by the same author as the second group. The control group (4 classes) engaged in regular activities (worksheets, drawing, pasting, etc.). The teachers of the three experimental groups were asked to read interactively to their students, that is, to interact with their students before, during, and after reading in order to help them to understand the story. They were to do this during the last 20 minutes of the day, five times a week, for 6 months. The findings indicated that classroom story‐reading to first‐grade students led them to increases in decoding, reading comprehension, and picture storytelling. Among the various types of treatments, reading by teachers from a series of stories in installments was shown to have the greatest effect on reading achievement on the extent of reading for pleasure and on the quantity of books purchased for leisure reading. The findings suggested that exposure to a series of stories initiates a process (a magic secret), which stimulates young readers to reread these books. EN ESTE estudio se examinaron tres cuestiones: (a) cómo la lectura a niños de primer grado que requieren apoyo (social y culturalmente en riesgo) afecta su desempeño en decodificación, comprensión lectora y relato de historias, (b) cómo la lectura de historias tomadas de una serie escrita por un autor afecta su desempeño en comparación con la lectura de historias aisladas, y (c) cómo la lectura de diferentes tipos de literatura afecta la cantidad de lectura voluntaria. Quince clases israelíes de primer grado (339 participantes) fueron divididas al azar en cuatro grupos de tratamiento: tres grupos experimentales y un grupo de control. El primer grupo (cuatro clases) escuchó historias (de libros de lectura) de diferentes autores. El segundo grupo (cuatro clases) escuchó historias de un mismo autor. El tercer grupo (tres clases) escuchó en etapas una colección de historias escritas por el mismo autor que el segundo grupo. El grupo de control (cuatro clases) realizó las actividades regulares (hojas de trabajo, dibujos, etc.) A las maestras de los tres grupos experimentales se les pidió que leyeran interactivament...
