The document discusses teaching students with reading difficulties. It explains that the four key processes of reading - phonetic knowledge, decoding, word recognition, and comprehension - can present challenges for students with learning disabilities or difficulties. Some factors that can contribute to reading difficulties are a lack of engagement in reading tasks, low confidence, frustration with difficult words, and feeling discouraged by a lack of success. To help students overcome such barriers, teachers should focus on strategies like improving decoding skills, increasing reading fluency, and enhancing comprehension. This involves understanding phonics and phonemes as well as practicing reading words fluently.

TEACHING STUDENTS WITH READING DIFFICULTIES
The most important thing we learn from school is the ability to read and to make meaning from text and learn through reading. This ability is not easy for students who have disabilities or learning difficulty because their learning comprehension is not fully function to comprehend the learnings in education system. When we say reading difficulty, it is connected to the four process of reading; first we have phonetic knowledge wherein we are aware on different sounds of words. Next we have decoding, wherein we break all the words down into different parts and figure out how to pronounce those separated words. Next we have word recognition wherein readers will be able to recognize the word and also the pronunciation of it without putting an effort. Last we have comprehension wherein it is the most important process in reading because we are not just going to recognize the words or the pronunciation of the word, instead in this process, we are be able to analyze and to understand those words inside the content of what we are reading. These processes are essential to all readers especially to the readers who have learning difficulties. Despite of these, teachers must know what to look for on having learning difficulties. Now there are several factors in having learning difficulties; the students are less engaged in reading tasks, less confident in their ability to read what is willing to take risk in reading new words, frustrated with difficult word tasks or maybe they are being discourages by their lack of success. These factors being mentioned above teachers should focus on because these factors serve as their barriers in comprehending the words correctly. To cope up these factors teachers must focus also on the strategies that can eliminate those factors of learning difficulties such as decoding, increasing fluency, comprehension. In decoding, they need to understand how the letters and sound works such as phonics along with the phonemes. To create fluency, they need to practice the sounds of the words until they master it and to have an accent in speaking the word.
