Abstract

There are sundry factors that come into consideration in an attempt to realize effective learning programs for both the older struggling readers and the younger struggling readers . This is because , both the personality and characteristics of the two groups differ , yet they have to be taken into consideration when crafting up effective learning programs for the two groups

For instance , individuals in this group may take to asking questions or having group discussions with other students . This type of reader is always likely to give up reading when this undertaking gets so laborious , or when the actual process of reading sounds monotonous

Although being vulnerable to embarrassments , this group tends to ask questions in the course of having missed a point . Psychologists base this type of situation on two premises .
