Abstract
Education in general also focuses in assisting learners to acquire all the three main domains in life which are the Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor domains, according to Martin et al (1994). This project investigated whether the phonic method of teaching reading would assist in improving reading comprehension, pronunciation as well as the processes of word recognition of pupils, especially during reading and comprehension lessons. During the researcher's stay as a subject teacher, he found out that some of the Junior Secondary School Two ( JSS 2 ) pupils of the school were performing poorly or abysmally in reading and comprehension especially in reading such as poor pronunciation and recognition of common words during reading and comprehension lessons. The researcher in order to address this situation, decided to use the phonic method of teaching reading and develop its associated appropriate teaching and learning materials to aid in improving the reading and comprehension skills of the pupils with difficulty in reading for example poor pronunciation and recognition of common words during reading lessons. Data was well collected through pre-test intervention and post-test intervention. Finding shows that the students’ reading comprehension, pronunciation as well as the processes of word recognition improved after going through the intervention and they were also able to read with understanding and speak English fluently on their own with less intervention. The researcher recommended that teachers should use appropriate teaching and learning materials and methods to arouse pupils’ interest and improve the teaching and learning of reading and comprehension in Schools.
