The current study probes into the students’ reading difficulties at elementary level. The
objectives of the study were, to diagnose reading difficulties of the students at elementary
level, to identify the role of vocabulary in the reading skill, the importance of grammar in
reading skill, the importance of speed in reading skill and the role of spelling and
pronunciation in reading skill. All government elementary schools class 8th students (4214) in
District Mardan were selected as population of the study, out of which 1054 students were
selected through simple random sampling techniques for the collection of data. Self-made
reading test and check list were applied for the collection of data. The collected data was
categorical and was analyzed through Frequency, Percent, Valid Percent and Cumulative
Percent. It was found that majority of the students who could not read well were weak in
vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, grammar and speed reading. Moreover, the study
suggested that if teachers and stakeholders focus on students’ vocabulary, spelling, grammar,
pronunciation and reading speed then they can easily solve the problem of difficulties in
reading skill.
