A SUGGESTED STRATEGY TO DEVELOP PRIMARY STAGE PUPILS' ORAL READING SKILLS IN LIGHT OF PHONICS INSTRUC

Abstract

The current study aims to develop primary stage students oral reading skills through a suggested strategy based on phonics instruction. Thirty of four primary stage pupils were chosen. A pre – test was administrated to examine pupils oral reading actual performance before applying the suggested strategy. Data driven from the pre - test confirmed the weakness of the pupils, when they read orally. Aquasi experimental study was conducted on one experimental group (the same group) .The results of the post – test confirmed our hypotheses that a strong linear correlation exists between developing oral reading skills and applying the suggested strategy based on phonics instruction . Pupils used phonics to develop their oral reading positively.
