It is however important to remember that the obtained results are far from the objectives fixed by the programs. From these conclusions, my practice grew rich by using these usefull supports. Later researches should optimize the set up device and identify other supports useful for the struggling students or those who have no interest by the reading. ; De nos jours, la lecture au collège est une activité rebutée par la plupart des élèves.
