The Use of Graded Reading Materials for Children with Reading
Difficulties
Low reading proficiency skills may impede understanding of the reading materials being read and hence affect interest in
reading. This paper discusses a case study on the use of graded reading materials in increasing reading skills among children
with reading difficulties.
The use of graded seems to be suitable for children with reading difficulties. Appropriate teaching methods to
introduce the reading materials should be based on students’ reading ability and level. Teachers are suggested to use
alternate and varied teaching strategies in order to retain attention and interest in reading as well as to avoid
redundancies. The content of the reading materials is based on children’s familiar surroundings which provide ease
of understanding on the materials being read. In addition, the use of colorful and attractive pictures helps keep
students interest to further reading the materials.
