Observation
The researcher made direct observations of the way classrooms are organized for reading lessons and the
teaching materials used. This helped the researcher to verify and consolidate information that had been gathered
through oral interviews and questionnaires.
Oral Interviews
The researcher carried out interviews with head teachers and heads of the lower sections of each of the
selected schools in order to obtain supplementary information to that collected through an oral, interview guide
and a questionnaire. The researcher visited the schools and offices physically to deliver the questionnaires.
Interviews with head teachers and heads of the departments were conducted in their offices during
predetermined convenient times.
