Some aspects of reading difficulties in the stage of kindergarten in Arab and foreign studies and ways of treatment: A theoretical study

Abstract

The present study aimed to identify some of the difficulties of reading in the stage of kindergarten in Arab and foreign studies. In her study, the researcher followed the theoretical approach. The tool was used to collect information from the results of previous studies, which were applied to a sample of kindergarten children. The present study concluded that pre-academic skills (character recognition skills, phonological recognition skills, numeracy skills, color recognition skills, shape recognition skills) are essential skills for predicting reading difficulties in children in the future. The study focused on the results of the study (the skill of recognition of alphabets, and the skill of perception of the phonological), which affects the reading clearly and significantly for teachers, which helps to discover children early at risk of reading. The results of the present study also confirm the relationship between pre-academic skills deficiencies, predicting future reading difficulties for the child, and a close and important correlation between cognitive skill, phonological cognition, and character recognition skills and their impact on subsequent reading. These skills are indicators of reading difficulties later, Training in phonological cognition greatly helps to improve character recognition and reading skills. The researcher recommended preparing teachers for the difficulties of learning the kindergarten stage well, paying attention to the early detection of children with learning disabilities in the kindergarten stage, preparing standardized measures to identify the children who predicted difficulty, In the development and application of intervention programs.
