One of the most important criteria for child's school success is the ability to read and comprehend what has been read. Difficulty in reading hinders the progress aimed to speed in the learning process of a child. Reading comprehension is the basic and fundamental skill in learning, hence the great performance of a child in every aspect of learning lies and depends on his reading skills. Reading is one of the few academic areas in which it demands from all children but success is not always possible (Smith and Dechant,1991)
Reading is the primary avenue to knowledge (Stern and Gould, 1995). It unlocks the unknown and carries the reader to new discoveries and learning. It equips the person with variety of knowledge which he can use in his daily living. A person who loves to read understands any phenomenon easily. He is well informed, educated and well adjusted to the vents around him.
