Teachers of reading skills have built up and used different methods for teaching reading, sometimes
mechanically, in order to help learners overcome the initial difficulty of identifying letters, of recognizing
words, and of uttering sounds they represent. Undoubtedly, reading is one of the most effective means of
language learning. It expands one’s proficiency in the use of the language. It also gives the skills necessary to
acquire more knowledge. These skills are difficult to achieve in the big class sizes commonly found in Kampala
Central Municipality primary schools.
