Abstract Reading proficiency is a crucial element of academic achievement and ongoing education. This research examines students' reading skills by focusing on their levels of reading proficiency, typical reading difficulties, and the influence of specific background factors on reading growth. A uniform tool for assessing reading skills was utilized to gather data from a representative group of schoolchildren through a descriptive survey method. The results indicate that children's reading skills differ significantly, with clear deficiencies particularly evident in reading fluency and comprehension. These disparities indicate unequal availability of instructional assistance and effective reading methods.
The findings emphasize the importance of schools offering structured and systematic reading instruction from the beginning levels. To prevent prolonged academic struggles, identifying reading difficulties early and taking swift remedial measures is essential. Moreover, the research emphasizes that a nurturing educational atmosphere comprising parental engagement, teacher support, and availability of appropriate reading resources can enhance students' reading abilities. Focused strategies can be enhanced by considering background factors such as educational resources and familial literacy habits. Taking everything into account, the research provides teachers and lawmakers valuable insights for developing evidence-backed strategies to enhance students' reading skills and promote educational achievement.
