A study " Reading difficulties in grade six learners and challenges faced by teachers in teaching reading" which conducted by Linda Mwanamukubi (2013) aimed to discover the factors that contribute to causing reading difficulties among the learners of grade six and the challenges faced by teachers in teaching reading. The sample contained 206 participants from 10 schools in Chadiza and Chipata districts of the Eastern province of Zambia by applying quantitative and qualitative research designs and
types of learning difficulties that face learners as a foreign language, among them are reading difficulties. Giess (2005) mentioned that, pupils with reading difficulty have struggled passing each grade level. Some of these pupils never received good reading instruction. There are students whose difficulty with reading is part of a broader learning difficulty these readers are sometimes referred to as language-learning disabled. Others have a specific learning disability in reading, often called "dyslexic
Introduction 1.1 Background A teacher’s perspective on how to assist learners with reading difficulties. Reading is a fundamental skill for every individual in today’s literate societies where the written word carries most of the communication between individuals and societies. Reading is the basic tool for education. Children who have the ability to read, learn easier and therefore do better at school, With regular reading, the child develops its mind; it develops language skills; it develops the imagination
Reading and learning to read are the prevailing topics among instructors since the influence our society. It is clear that the ability to read is one of the significant factors that contribute to the student’s success. Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing by developing learners’ phonemic awareness. Phonics is absolutely essential for helping children begin to read. This study investigated the effect of analogy phonics and phonics approach through spelling on reading skill in
of reading. I have to say learning about phonics instruction has been very useful particularly with my many ELL student populations. I learned after reflecting on my lessons that I was perfectly acceptable for me to teach my students these concepts even in middle school. In the begging of the year I was very hesitant to go back to the basics with my students. Phonics instruction is a way of teaching reading that stresses the acquisition of letter-sound correspondences and their use in reading and
Childhood Apraxia of speech (CAS) is an unusual speech disorder which a child has some difficulties in making accurate movement when speaking. In the childhood Apraxia of speech, the brain of a child struggles and have some difficulties to develop plans or ideas for a speech movement. With this kind of disorder, the speech muscles of the child aren’t weak, but they do not perform normally because the brain has difficulty in directing or coordinating the movements. To speak correctly, the child’s brain

Related to language as a system in social interaction between human being in this world, there are four basic language skills which people should have; listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Those four basic language abilities are very important since they are needed to understand, to process, and to produce both spoken and written language. There is a consensus which connects language and children.

Colleen struggles with reading for a long period, she has difficulty with organizing large writing assignments; focus, concentration, and processing.

When I started to investigate my topic, I began by reading the chapter in the text written by Sharon Vaughn. Vaughn states that students with learning disabilities need accommodations and intensive interventions and support to read at their grade level (Vaughn, 2015). Research suggests that a highly structured reading intervention will have a positive impact on students with reading comprehension difficulties. Teachers provide instructional support by modeling comprehension and by explicitly teaching
The Dual-Route and Triangle Models of Reading for Phonological Dyslexia and Surface Dyslexia Dyslexia syndrome is an important topic in psychology. It is characterised by difficulty with learning to read and other deficits in performing some cognitive activities, such as word recognition, spelling, and phonological recoding, which translates groups of letters into phonological forms. Dyslexia can be innate or acquired after a stroke, brain damage, or atrophy. There are four forms of acquired dyslexia:
