Abstract
Students with low literacy levels typically perform poorly and disengage little from the

and impairments all have a role on the level of a student’s literacy. This paper emphasizes low

means for a society to be literate centres on the process through which young people's linguistic
skills are first rooted and solidified. Phonological awareness, syntactic comprehension, lexical
