A Study of Reading Attainments of 8-10 Years Old Dyslexics

Abstract

Education has always been meant for the students. But while educating the students, emphasis has always been on the curriculum, on content of course, on school and its management, but not on the students. In view of the fact that student is the centre of all learning activities. What is more important is, how student learns, how he does exercise the power of mind and body, and how he thinks, understands and forms his judgement. Much of child's learnings in School and in later life depends upon his competency to use those basic faculties such as the thinking,reasoning, memory,imagination and percepto-motor abilities. These are especially needed for acquring basic academic skills search as reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic. Millions of children in our schools are not able to develop these academic skills adequately and face various educational deficits or disability, referred to as learning disabilities from an educational point of view, the failure of an apparently capable child to cope up rigid academic standards in schools leads to a large numbers of failure and drop-outs, hence to wastage of educational resources and unfulfilment of our utmost important goal of education i.e. Universalisation of Primary Education (UPE). Sometimes leads towards Juvenile deliqency. Many of these children leave the school because of deficits in language and arithematic.
