Children in infant grades usually read aided by the use of pictures to match the words below the pictures.When they are in juniour grades the use of of picture is no longer for every word and more content to be read is a little bit more as they are expected to recognise a wide variety of words without pictures besides. Also their vocabulary is now being enriched quiet well. Remember the use of pictures speaks more than 1000 words!
Therefore the teacher of this juniours need to find out how good or how weak their reading levels are, in order to be given the needed assistance. The levels is measured by number of words the child can read with asking for assistance in a specific passage.
Lets consider that they are poor readers at this grade and the assumption should not conclude them to be stupid. There are many factors which we should consider why they are poor in reading ,for examples it may be previous badly taught,lack of reading materials exposed to them or social background such as violence,hunger and general social unrest are some causes which lead the capability in children to be backward in reading skills.
The teacher should now strategically use assessment and own knowledge of children's reading to group them in small groups to assist each other. The groups can be set according to their ability or in mixed grouping.
When grouping the children ,the teacher should note the following:
Children should not be kept in this groups for too long the grouping can be change varied ,if it is mixed ,can be changed to ability .
The progress of pupils must be noticed and move them to different groups strategically and accordingly.The slowest group need to be motivated and helped a lot so that they feel your efforts for them to not feel dejected and condemned to permanent backwardness.
