The research aimed to identify the level of reading weakness and phonological awareness among students with learning difficulties, and to identify the relationship between reading weakness and phonological awareness and to know the value of predicting reading weakness through phonological awareness among primary school students with learning difficulties. The descriptive survey method was used, and the research sample consisted of (216) male and female students, with (109) students for the first grade and (107) students for the second grade. Accordingly, the sample was divided into: (100) male and female students as an exploratory sample to codify the study tools, by (50). A male and female student for each stage, and (116) students as a main sample for the first and second grades, with (59) students for the first grade and (57) students for the second grade. The reading impairment and phonological awareness scale was used as a research tool, and the data were processed statistically using the SPSS statistical package. The study reached the following conclusions:
- The low level of the first and second grade students in the dimensions of the phonological awareness scale.
- The degree of prevalence of oral reading among first-grade students was weak, while the degree of prevalence of reading comprehension was medium.
- The degree of prevalence of oral reading and reading weakness among the second-grade pupils was medium.
- The positive effect of the dimensions of phonological awareness (awareness of the word - awareness of the syllable - awareness of assonance) on increasing verbal reading among first-grade students, while there was no effect of the dimension of phonemic awareness on reading comprehension.
- The positive effect of all dimensions of phonological awareness (word awareness - syllable awareness - rhyming awareness - phonemic awareness) on increasing oral reading and reading comprehension among second grade students.
In light of the results, the researcher recommended a number of recommendations.
