The impact of introducing language experience input on the development of functional reading skills among fifth-grade scientific-stream female students

Abstract

The research aims to know (the effect of the language experience approach on the development of functional reading skills among fifth grade scientific students), and to verify this, the researcher prepared a list of appropriate functional reading skills for fifth grade scientific students, a test to measure functional reading skills, and study plans according to the language experience approach to develop those skills, and the researcher selected a sample of (32) students of the fifth grade of science for the experimental group from Al-Huda Preparatory School for Girls and taught them the topics specified in the study program and (30) female students in the control group, and by applying the study tools and data processing, the results showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the average scores of female students in functional reading skills at the level of (0.05) for the application of the functional reading test before and after in favor of the post-application, which confirms the effectiveness of using the language experience approach in developing functional reading skills among fifth grade female students.
