    Readiness
    Readiness of many kind happen in many stages in
    our life. It simply means a state where we undertake
    a new task with ease and profitably. It has many
    dimensions and it is a never ending process.
    (Morrison, 1995)

    Reading readiness according to UNICEF (2012) is a


    process of preparing a child for reading; encouraging
    the child to read and engaging that child in reading
    1) Physical
    According to the National Open University of Nigeria
    (NOUN, 2013), physical readiness entails that the child
    possesses functional speech organs; is able to hear and
    see and that such child demonstrates evidence of word
    recognition and perception.
    Physical factors :
    – General health
    – Vision
    – Hearing
    – Motor control
    – Speech
    – Ability to attend to a task
    General Health
    • Healthy children are usually happy children. A child
    who is well nourished and who has enough rest feels
    good and has stamina to concentrate and work for
    prolonged period of times.
    • If a child comes to school sleepy and tired from having
    watched a late television show the night before or
    hungry because he skipped breakfast, he will be
    irritable , inattentive low in vitality, and unable to
    learn as he should.
    Vision
    • Reading is visual act. Through vision the words and
    ideas are perceived by the mind.
    • If the child’s vision is impaired, the image he sees is
    blurred and distorted and difficult to remember.
    • Poor visual acuity prevents a child from developing
    the necessary visual discrimination skills because
    he will be unable to detect likenesses and
    differences in objects, shapes, letters and words.
    Hearing
    • Auditory acuity increases the child’s opportunities to
    gain new ideas, learn new words, and imitate the correct
    speech sounds.
    • Loss of hearing that goes unnoticed no matter how
    slight, is detrimental to a child’s educational progress as
    this cause him to miss much of what goes him.
    • It will prevent him from developing auditory
    discrimination skills that are necessary in phonics
    instruction and spelling.
    Motor Control
    • Lack of motor control among disabled readers is
    manifested by the presence of poor motor
    coordination in their waling, running, jumping,
    hopping, skipping, and other physical coordination
    activities.
    • This condition will hinder or prevent the child from
    developing eye-hand coordination which essential for
    following a line of print, coloring, pasting, printing,
    tracing, and drawing.
    Ability to Attend a Task
    • A child’s ability to attend a task for prolonged periods of
    time is essential to complete the many required group
    and individual activities assigned to beginning readers.
    • In a classroom, the teacher has 25 or more pupils to
    attend to and cannot be with all them all the time.
    • Each child should have perseverance and patience to
    complete his learning tasks or he will lag behind the
    others.
    2) Emotional
    3) Intellectual
    4) Linguistic
    5) Experience
    • Experience is the foundation of reading.

    • Important for the teacher to provide children


    with many experiences, either real or vicarious.

    • Also depends on family background.

    • Clear concept from experience.

    • Can imagine the situation of the story clearly.


    • Experiences designed to extend their
    concepts through trips to the
    community, books, films, pictures,
    cooking, play and special art, music,
    science, or social studies projects will
    be necessary.
