This paper discusses how reading comprehension was instructed in an elementary school in the postwar years based on its workshop reports. There existed such a teaching of reading comprehension, using the Japanese language textbooks edited by the central government, as was practiced by Matsui Shiro, a teacher of Kugahara Elementary School, Ota Ward, while empirical teaching of Japanese language was being carried out by a lot of teachers throughout Japan. I have studied his practice and a part of his research reports and have considered its fruits and issues. Consequently, This research revealed the following results. (1) Freshness of the Japanese language textbook in the postwar years (2) The practice of reading comprehension teaching which placed emphasis on students' impressions after reading (3) The value of students' independent research in the unit learning (4) The unit plan taking the evaluation into consideration (5) A possibility to have expanded the contents of the subject while fostering students' academic abilities.
