The Statement of the Problem
The problem addressed by the present study is the challenges of teaching reading to large classes in lower
primary in Kampala, East Uganda. A lot of complaints have been registered by both parents and teachers that
pupils’ academic performance is poor due to inappropriate reading skills demonstrated by those children. For
this reason, the parents are anxious that their children should learn to read sooner than later.
What is even more surprising is that unlike in the rural environment, children in Kampala City join
Primary one after attaining nursery school education where they grasp the vowel sounds and learn to shape
letters among other things. Besides, they have access to readings provided on billboards, TV (television), and
advertisements on buildings. In some homes, adults read to children, and they look at pictures in books, or
newspaper. It is, therefore, likely that rather than socio-economic factors, the effective teaching of reading in
the lower primary in Kampala Central Municipality is challenged by the big class sizes.
