Abstract

— Reading skills are a basic Tamil language skill for elementary school students. Every student has
the right to receive reading skills in primary school to achieve great success in the future. This study aimed
to identify the factors that cause problems in reading Tamil among primary school students. The respondents
consisted of 20 teachers who teach Tamil in a district in Negeri Sembilan. This study was a descriptive
survey using questionnaires that included Tamil language readings in schools, students’ basic knowledge,
and problems encountered during teaching and learning (PdPc) in the classroom and beyond the classroom.
The findings of the research data using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software were used
to obtain percentages and mean. In conclusion, to address the problem of Tamil language reading, teachers
need to diversify their teaching methods to solve the problems of reading, and the Tamil language needed to
be added to the Intervention class time-table as an Intervention programme which has an effective impact on
our nation’s education.
