From the reviewed research, the authors identified various areas that prove to be challenging to young children who are learning how to read. Facts determined by the authors include; both experienced and inexperienced readers encounter same difficulties during the reading process and understanding the entire alphabetical systems is the ultimate goal towards accuracy in reading. Reading recovery was found to be the most effective intervention method. In this method, students with reading difficulties are allocated more time compared to others where they are trained on various tactics to match the capability of their counterparts. When they reach the same level with the others and demonstrate independency in classroom they are positioned in the same learning environment with the others.
During the early years in school, children undergo transition period from having an incomplete knowledge to having
the responsibility of combine all the skills during the reading process. Teachers are also expected to lead students into two main reading tactics; listening and word recognition. The authors concluded that vocabulary comprehension can be attained by students with learning difficulties and can be taught directly or incidentally. However, the authors recommended further research on how an improved systematic approach can be incorporated to the teaching phonics while implementing the reading recovery intervention method.
