Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the experience of the students with reading difficulties and to
understand the perception of the teachers about the students’ performance and achievement
during teaching learning process. The study focused on experience of students in learning
process, whether the students get proper support or not, understanding of the teachers about
reading difficulties and finally giving awareness to the teachers who are teaching language
at Lideta Selam Primary School. This study employed qualitative research approach and
tried to answer the research question. In addition data was collected using semi structured
interviews, document observation and document analyses. And also purposive thematic
analysis was used to organize and interpret the data. Research result has shown that
students are experiencing neglecting in the class, left behind; do not get proper support, do
not measure according to their limitations. And there is a big problem in assigning teachers
in the school because instead of assigning a language-trained teacher, they have assigned
any certified teacher in the foundation of class. For these reasons, the students did not get
effective teaching methodologies and proper support to student with reading difficulties to
achieve in reading.
