ABSTRACT
The study was carried out in Primary Schools in Mukuru Kwa Reuben Slum in Nairobi
Kenya to find out the challenges encountered by pre-school teachers in teaching learners
with reading difficulties. The problems found to be responsible were lack of knowledge
in handling the this children especially those with special learning problems; they were
looked at as slow learners, lack of effective teaching, poor teaching methods, and lack of
specialized personnel, poor intervention measures, and high student- teacher ratio.
The researcher used survey research design. And the data was collected using
questionnaire to obtain information the review from the written materials and the
discussions with the respondents. The qualitative and quantitative methods were used to
analyze data. The most dominant informants were teachers, learners, head teachers, and
the community members, and the educational officers.
The researcher established among others that the challenges of teaching the pre-school
learners with reading difficulties were lack of resources. There was a close relationship
between teaching material and leaning recourses and the children’s ability to learn the
reading and writing. Despite the majority of the pointed out that they face problems in
teaching some of the slow learners, the researcher analyzed that they were not slow
learners but the number was always to large for the teachers to offer standard services.
The government should therefore see the need to help this special group they are to make
a better Kenya.
