A synopsis of the importance and the nature of reading serve as the point of
departure for this study. The pupils involved are learning restrained as well as A comprehensive reading problem analysis table, compiled for analysis of
individual reading problems, facilitates identification of the remedial reading
areas, as well as the underlying subskills causing the problems to be
accommodated in remedial reading. A control chart, developed for recording the
information concerning the pupil's reading problem area and underlying
subskills, facilitates compilation of an integrated remedial reading programme.
Existing exercises, selected from the works of various authors and adapted,
provide guidelines and exercises for particular remedial reading areas. These
guidelines serve as a point of departure for the compilation of a specific remedial
reading programme for a particular pupil with reading problems.
Two case studies elucidate how a remedial reading programme can be compiled
according to the pupil's background, reading problems and inadequacies in the
underlying subskills.
Group A learning disabled pupils although learning disabled pupils in Group B
and C can also be involved.
The total reading process is illustrated by means of a reading model. The two
main components, namely, word identification and comprehension, form the
basis of this study. The different subcategories featuring in each component are
highlighted. This model serves as a framework for the diagnosis and remediation
of reading problems.
A teaching model is used to illustrate the complexity of teaching. The factors (
within the teaching model are indicated, as well as the ways they may serve
when reading is taught. The reduction and choice of reading content for a
specific pupil are set out as important aspects to be taken into consideration in
reading remediation.
Determining each pupil's reading levels, namely, his/her independent level,
instructional level and frustrational level, enables the teacher to choose the
appropriate reading material. / Teacher Education / D. Ed. (Orthopedagogics)
