Abstract:
Reading is a difficult skill to be mastered by children mainly remedial students prone to problems in basic reading skill. Remedial students are students with learning disabilities who have been selected to attend the Remedial Programme in their schools. This study was conducted to identify the problems faced by these students in mastering basic reading skill. Basic reading skill that is the focus of this article is the open syllables words; Consonant Vowel Consonant Vowel (KVKV). This study aimed to identify the main problems faced by students in reading open syllables words (KVKV). The study was conducted in one elementary school in the district of Miri, Sarawak involving 30 pupils in year two from remedial class. Data were collected through Diagnostic Tests, observations and interviews in the study group. The study found that the main problems were; students do not understand the basic concepts of reading clearly and the lack of motivation among the students. This study is expected to help teacher in particular remedial teachers in helping students overcome reading recovery KVKV word. To improve the reading skills of pupils, the study recommended that remedial students are taught by a variety of teaching strategies such as inserting games or songs in their teaching and learning in order to cultivate their interest in reading. Teachers are also advised to constantly motivate the students so that they are eager to learn the skills of reading.

Abstract:
While there is a body of research addressing the causes of reading difficulty and the identification and remediation of children with a reading difficulty, little is reported regarding the type and adequacy of assistance that these children actually receive in school. This study addresses the latter two issues. A random sample of 110 Year 3 teachers from State primary schools answered questions concerning school resources for assisting children with a reading difficulty, main method of teaching reading, their beliefs concerning reading difficulty, and their own level of general teaching experience and experience and training in managing reading difficulty. These teachers then provided information concerning the ability level, behavioural problems, perceived cause of reading difficulty, assessment, and adequacy of assistance for 303 Year 3 children whom they identified as having a reading difficulty. Results indicated that 42.7% of teachers predominantly used a whole language approach to teaching reading and that, by teacher definition, only 36.6% of children were receiving adequate assistance for their reading difficulty. Regression analysis showed that the factors most strongly associated with adequate assistance were a less severe level of reading difficulty, a higher level of support available within the school, and more children with reading difficulty in the class. The implications of these findings and other characteristics of the children with reading difficulties are discussed.

Abstract:
Current methods for teaching reading comprehension tend to emphasize the products of comprehension and neglect the processes of comprehension. Teachers often provide insufficient opportunities for learners to practice English in teaching reading. To make the situation worse, both teachers and learners frequently use Indonesian language throughout English classes. There are two sets of skills that are particularly important to teach. The first set includes comprehension monitoring skills that involve readers' monitoring their continuing processing for possible comprehension failure and taking remedial action when failures occur. Comprehension failures can occur at various levels, including: particular words, particular sentences, relations between sentences, and relations between larger units. For each kind of failure, there are specific remedial actions readers can take. The second set of processing skills that can be taught involves using clues in the text to generate, evaluate, and revise hypotheses about current and future events in the text. During teaching reading in a class teachers may confuse to give exercises relate to fluency or accuracy. The correlation between fluency and reading comprehension showed a significant positive relationship between oral reading fluency and reading comprehension performance. Therefore, automaticity of decoding fluency is essential for high levels of reading achievement. Hence, what educators should do now is conscientiously try to shift educators’ attention from emphasizing the accuracy of students ‘oral presentation to developing their ability to express themselves both accurately and fluently in English.

Abstract:
A number of international and national assessments show that Namibian children are not reading according to set benchmarks. The teaching and learning of reading can only be as good as the teachers who facilitate the reading acquisition process. Namibian learners are formally taught how to read in Grade 1, and thus this article focuses the perceptions of Grade 1 teachers in Windhoek, Namibia regarding their knowledge and classroom practices in teaching reading and how they support their learners’ reading acquisition. Through a survey to gauge their use of reading practices, 132 teachers were asked about the teaching methods they use, the specific instruction content they use, how they create a literate classroom, how they encourage and support poor readers, and whether and how reading instruction in small groups occurs. Their teacher training was examined, as well as the knowledge that they have regarding certain language and reading components that support reading instruction. Teachers reported that they mostly use a range of methods when teaching reading (83%), while (15%) report using only one method. Of all the reading and language skills that teachers had to select from, 90% included phonological awareness as part of their reading instruction content, more so than the other reading and language skills. Among different strategies used to create a literate environment in the classroom, the majority (82%) use labels and notices to draw children's attention to literacy. To encourage struggling readers to read, teachers indicated they mainly use simple, easy texts so that poor readers can experience success. The results of the study reveal that while most Grade 1 teachers (81%) claim that they have received average to excellent training in teaching reading and demonstrate that they overwhelmingly agree (99%) with good reading practices and beliefs, the results reveal that their actual knowledge of various aspects of reading does not relate to their stated teacher training and reading beliefs. It appears that the overall average for the knowledge section showed that less than 37% of teachers had detailed knowledge of specific aspects of reading such as being able to identify syllables, morphemes, and speech sounds in words as well as demonstrating knowledge of phonics, phonemes, and diphthongs. The article discusses some strategies to alleviate some of the issues highlighted in the results.

Abstract:
Background: To assess the effectiveness of remedial teaching in children with learning disability and to find association between IQ score and age of the child with their improvement.Methods: An interventional study using pre-post study design, took place in Child Development Centre (CDC) of tertiary care Medical College hospital. Participants includes 45 school going children of age group of 6-15 years. After initial diagnosis and IQ assessment, remedial teaching was given in CDC for 12 months. Techniques are chosen on an individual basis by formulating individualised education program (IEP) by special educators. Diagnosis and pre- post assessment were done using tool, NIMHANS SLD battery. Effectiveness was evaluated as improvement in class levels of students. Definite improvement was decided in each student if improvement was observed in 4 or more domains. Relationship of IQ score and age with their improvement in was noted.Results: In pretest, poor results were found in attention and copying in 39 children, reading in 41, comprehension and spelling in 42, written expression in 43, and arithmetic in 44. In posttest, good results with statistical significance (p<0.05) were found in attention in 33, copying in 27, reading in 24, arithmetic in 15, and spelling in 12 children. Definite improvement was noticed for 33% of students with significant association with age and not IQ score of the child.Conclusions: This study shows that remedial teaching can bring about significant changes in academic skills namely attention, copying, reading, arithmetic, and spelling. 33% had definite improvement in 4 or more domains. The improvement in academic skills following remedial teaching was dependent on the child’s age and not on IQ score.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare TOEIC scores before and after applying Kahoot! as a remedial teaching tool on the sample of 180 (6 groups, 30 students each group) first-year students enrolled on the Airline Business Program in the International College, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. The research instruments in this study were TOEIC test and all questions on Kahoot! to improve students’ skills in TOEIC test reading section. The researcher applied Kahoot! at the end of 15 classes, 15-20 minutes each class. The researcher analyzed students’ TOEIC scores before and after applying Kahoot! as a remedial teaching tool by calculating TOEIC scores and percentage. The findings show that all average scores in the semester 1/2018 were higher than the score in semester 3/2017 which the score in listening section was more than the one in the reading section. Similarly, in each group, the average score in semester 1/2018 was higher than the score in semester 3/2017 while the score in listening section was more than the one in reading section. Generally, students’ TOEIC scores before applying Kahoot! were higher than after applying Kahoot!. The percentage of difference score before and after employing Kahoot! in the reading section was more than in the listening section. The group that obtained the highest percentage of difference score was group 6, followed by groups 5, 2, 4, 3 and 1, respectively. In part of the listening section, the group that obtained the highest percentage of difference score was group 4, followed by groups 6, 2, 5, 3 and 1, respectively. In part of the reading section, the group that obtained the highest percentage of difference score was group 5, followed by groups 6, 3, 2, 4 and 1, respectively. From Kahoot! score results, the researcher found that the average score, including the percentage of correct answers on Kahoot! tends to get higher. Therefore, lecturers should promote and develop students’ TOEIC test-taking skills in part of its listening and reading sections by means of integrating Kahoot! or other active learning strategies in the everyday classroom.

Abstract:
For unclear reasons, current language tests and remedial teaching materials often do not include the explicit evaluation or teaching of derivational morphology. This article reviews recent research on children’s knowledge and acquisition of derivational morphology across studies of listening, speaking, reading, and spelling. We conclude that this dimension of language organization deserves more attention than it now receives in language instruction.

Abstract:
Though research has been conducted on many issues since Namibia's independence in 1990, none of these studies has investigated how English Second Language (ESL) teachers teach and support struggling adolescent readers (SARs) to read. Utilising qualitative research techniques such as classroom observations, semi-structured interviews and document analysis, this case study looked at strategies, methods, and resources used by five ESL secondary school teachers to teach SARs to read in two regions in Namibia, Caprivi and Otjozondjupa regions. Two of the five participants were male teachers. The presence of SARs in the classes observed was established by using informal methods such as the ESL teachers' experience (Caprivi region), while a sample of questions from PIRLS 2001 (Mullis, Martin, Gonzalez, & Kennedy (2003) was compiled to form a test used in the Otjozondjupa region. The findings show that despite undergoing initial teacher training and majoring in English, the five ESL secondary school teachers were not trained to teach SARs either how to read or how to support them. In addition, the study found that there was a shortage of reading materials in all five selected schools.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was explorative, descriptive, and generative. Through systematic observation, interview, and analysis procedures, the researcher addressed the following questions: (1) What occurs in the reading resource rooms visited related to reading teaching/learning? (2) What variables, grounded in the collected data, appear to be core (grounded theory terminology) to reading teaching/learning in the reading resource rooms visited? (3) What substantive research questions related to the teaching/learning of reading can be generated from the data collected? The procedures for data collection and the methods of data analysis were based on grounded theory methodology. Grounded theory methodology provided a means for dealing systematically with descriptive, qualitative data. The data were comprised of (1) written field notes of observations made in seven pull-out reading resource rooms and (2) transcriptions of follow-up tape recorded interviews with teachers from these resource rooms. Observations were made during morning hours on consecutive days in seven (7) pull-out reading resource rooms primarily serving students in the 4th through 6th grades. A few 3rd grade students were also being served. All students were part of the school district's Chapter 1 reading program. Exit interviews were conducted with each reading resource room teacher after completion of observational data collection in all seven resource rooms. Findings and conclusions included the presentation of substantive descriptive details and their conceptual analysis; the discernment of core and salient variables related to the teaching/learning of reading in the reading resource rooms visited; and, the identification of substantive areas for further research.

Abstract:
This study was conducted in order to understand to what extent Grade 2 teachers use books (or other forms of extended text) in their reading lessons in Oshindonga where very little published material is available, and, if so, whether they engage in shared reading with these materials or not. The study also explored ways to introduce more books (or other forms of extended text) into Oshindonga classrooms. The study took the form of an interpretive case study. It was conducted in two primary schools in Otjiwarongo district in the Otjozondjupa region of Namibia. Two qualified Grade 2 teachers were selected. The purpose of this sampling was to gain an in depth understanding of how these two selected teachers taught reading in Oshindonga. The data was gathered by using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, as well as lesson observations and stimulated recall with each individual teacher after each lesson. The purpose of this was to gain clarity in areas that were not clear during lesson presentations. A focus group interview was also conducted in order to generate ideas about how to introduce more extended texts into the classroom. The key fmdings are that both schools in the study lacked books in Oshindonga, and the teachers lacked an understanding of the importance of using books (or other forms of extended text). Other key findings are that teachers had a problem in choosing appropriate texts to read with their learners; teachers understand reading more as decoding than reading for meaning and pleasure; children were not asked any comprehension questions and the two teachers had different views on the value of shared reading. The research data revealed that there are problems in teaching literacy in Namibian African languages.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore four grade 3 teachers’ understanding of teaching reading in Rukwangali, a home language in Namibia in Kavango region and to observe the strategies they use as well as the activities they set for their learners. During my School Based Studies (SBS), I noticed that learners were not reading with understanding. My interest was also stimulated by a study carried out in Namibia that found that the literacy levels for Namibian learners were poor compared to those of other African countries. This is a qualitative case study carried out within an interpretive paradigm. It seeks to understand the meaning that people attached to human actions. I selected the participants purposefully and in terms of convenience, as all three schools selected are situated in Rundu, the town in which I work as a college lecturer. The research tools I employed were semi-structured interviews, document analysis, classroom observation, and stimulated recall discussions on the lessons I observed. I used a variety of methods to triangulate data and enhance validity. This study reveals that teachers use multiple methods to teach reading. These methods include phonics and syllabification to help struggling learners to decode difficult and long (polysyllabic) words and the look-and-say method for whole word recognition and meaning making at word and sentence level. In addition, they also use the thematic approach to teaching and learning to expand learners’ vocabulary and enhance their understanding of the texts they read and to make their lessons learnercentred. However, the problems of language, lack of reading books written in Rukwangali and large class sizes constrain the teachers from teaching in a more learner-centred way. Therefore, the study gives some tentative recommendations to remedy this situation.

Abstract:
Stress is being linked increasingly to physiological, psychological, sociological, and educational problems. However, scant attention has been given to stress in recent reading research. This study investigated referral and evaluation statements and diagnostic data from parents, teachers, reading specialists, and counselors regarding signs of stress and potential stressors as factors in the reading difficulties of seventy-seven primary schoolchildren referred for evaluation at the pupil Appraisal Center (PAC) at North Texas State University between 1977 and 1984. Qualitative methods, specifically situational analysis, were employed to obtain a holistic view of each subject's reading difficulties. The researcher collected data from documented files at PAC. Data analysis via a categorical coding system produced thirty-nine stress related categories, organized under broad headings of family and school environment, readiness for reading/ learning, general stress reactions, and responses to stress when reading/learning becomes a problem.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine the use of a prediction technique during the reading of short stories with surprise endings. Investigated were the effects of instructional setting and content familiarity upon interest, overall reading comprehension, literal comprehension, and inferential comprehension. Verbal predictions and supportive evidence generated at the midpoint and prior the story climax was also examined. The subjects, 54 Chapter I remedial readers in a metropolitan school district in Tucson, Arizona, were randomly assigned to experimental or control groups. The study spanned three days. During this time, the students in the individualized treatment read three stories--one of familiar content, one of neutral content, and one of unfamiliar content. Each subject in this treatment generated hypotheses and support for predictions at both the story midpoint and climax. After each story, individual students completed an interest questionnaire and a comprehension assessment. Those in the group treatment followed the same procedure, with predictions and supportive evidence shared in a small group setting of three. Those in the control group read without predicting. The data analysis yielded these findings: (1) Overall comprehension and literal comprehension were not affected by the prediction treatment or story familiarity. (2) The control group surpassed the interest group on the number of inferential questions answered correctly; both the control group and the group prediction treatment subjects performed better than the individualized prediction treatment subjects on the inferential comprehension items. (3) Both the familiar and the neutral selection were more interesting to the students than the unfamiliar selection. (4) Interest scores for the control, familiar group were substantially higher than those for the group familiar treatment, the group, unfamiliar treatment, and the control, unfamiliar treatment. (5) A relationship did not exist between the interest scores and the total comprehension scores of the three stories. (6) Most predictions at the midpoint and prior to the story climax were inaccurate. (7) Predictions, though diverse, could be categorized into approximately 14 groups at the midpoint and 14 groups at the climax. (8) Most predictions were supported either with textual information or scriptal evidence; seldom were script and text ideas combined.
