Abstract

Teaching reading to  Asperger’s Syndrome students especially in primary level is difficult. Students with Asperger syndrome often struggle to comprehend other people's perspectives, experiences, or even the possibility that other people may hold experiences, emotions, or opinions that diverge from their own.This study aims to outline the challenges associated with teaching English reading to individuals with Asperger syndrome. This study used a descriptive qualitative methodology. The primary school pupils with Asperger syndrome are the focus of this study.To determine the barriers Asperger syndrome students have when learning to read in English, the researcher employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Based on the results, the author came to the conclusion that teaching English reading to primary kids with Asperger syndrome presents a variety of challenges that call for a customized strategy. The biggest challenge was keeping their eyes open for long stretches of time, which affected their focus and participation in class. The author also noted that these children could have trouble digesting and comprehending complicated directions, so it's critical to provide structured instructions that are broken down into smaller, more doable steps.  To keep students' interest and attention, teachers must give clear directions, divide work into manageable chunks, and come up with creative ways to do things.
