Conclusions
Conclusions were drawn based upon what had been found by the study. Recommendations were made and
lastly, possible areas for further study were suggested. From the findings, several conclusions were drawn.
Lower primary classes in primary schools in Kampala Central Municipality are crowded classes having
between 71 and 100 pupils assigned to one teacher to handle during the teaching-learning process of the
reading skills. Therefore, the teaching methods that are often employed are basically those that call for chorus
reading in the class.
The teachers of reading use such methods, mainly because they want to curb indiscipline that would arise
from pupils who misbehave due to being in a crowded class. Because the classes are crowded, the teachers fail
to give individual attention to learners of the reading skills.
The teaching materials that would reinforce use of various teaching methods are also restricted to the
traditional ones like wall displays, posters and chalkboard. The supply of manila paper and markers out of
which teachers would design teaching aids if teachers got the time was irregular.
The findings revealed that not every pupil’s needs werecatered to in such crowded classes. Additionally,
the teachers felt that there was too much work to handle by a single teacher of the reading skills.
