Minimizing Reading Failure Through Early Identification of At - risk Reading Disability children

This article reports a research on minizing reading failure through early identification of at – risk reading disability children. The aim of the study is to explore the theoretical model of proximal causes of reading acquisition among children. The research hypotheses were tested on 336 primary school students in Mashhad chosen through classified random sampling method.
