Abstract

Reading is important in the process of acquiring knowledge, therefore in basic education students are taught reading, writing and arithmetic. However, the reading ability of children in regular schools in India is very low, based on the results of a study by The International Association for the Evaluation Achievement, on all children in the world in 2015 showing that on average Indian children are in 41st place out of 45 countries in the world. Still the same source, research on 4323 grade 3 students showed that 50% of students could read but only half of the results understood the content of the reading. This reading ability is much lower in intellectual disabilities children where the results of studies in one special school are 92.16% cannot read. This is because the reading method used so far is not in accordance with the structure of the Indian language, so it is difficult for children to be able to read. This research uses a qualitative method and a literacy study. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of the low reading ability of intellectual disabilities students in India.
