The Effect of Listening Time Perception Training on Improving Phoneme Elimination Skills in Students with Specific Learning Disabilities in Reading

Reading is one of the ways of acquiring human knowledge. Every person in society has to read a number of writings, in most societies literacy is the key to educational success. Because one of the influential factors in reading is listening comprehension, the present study was conducted with the aim of the effect of teaching listening time perception on improving the phonological elimination skills of fourth-grade elementary students with special learning disabilities in reading. This research is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test, has an experimental group and a control group. The statistical population includes all students of fourth-grade elementary school boys in Saqqez with special learning disabilities in reading who were introduced to the centers of learning disabilities in the academic year of 1998-99. Using the available sampling method, a sample of 20 students from educational disability centers in Saqqez was selected. Then, 10 children in the experimental group and 10 children in the control group were randomly selected. The tools used in this study are the subtraction wave removal test, worm reading test and optical (2006). The number of educational intervention sessions includes 7 sessions for the experimental group. And the post-test was performed immediately on the experimental and control groups. One-way analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the training of listening time perception in the experimental group compared to the control group had a significant effect on improving children's phonological elimination skills. Listening time training in students with special learning disabilities in reading leads to improved elimination skills and improves their reading performance.
