READING PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Reading is an integral part of teaching and learning process. It is one of the biggest indicators of the students’ success in academic aspect. It allows them to
access the domain of the curriculum and enhance their communication skills. Students who have difficulty in reading will also have difficulty in understanding the
lessons not only in English and Filipino but in all subjects. Besides, reading can be a great avenue of imagination for the learners; it can open doors to new worlds for
them.
However, there are issues/problems associated in reading. These problems are the nemesis of educators. But, these are also the very reasons why teachers,
together with the parents, continue to come up with various techniques and strategies that will address these issues. In our school, here are four of the most common
reading problems with their possible solutions and recommendations.
