We cannot deny the fact that non-readers are a perennial problem in the educational system. So as teachers, we must do something to lessen the numbers of non-readers or totally eliminate or zero-out non-readers in our school. We are the central figures in all teaching activities that are why we should be aware of this and put an action to resolve this problem. It is a big challenge on our part because the brighter future of our school children depends on us teachers. We should accept this challenge and perform the tasks and responsibilities whole heartedly and honestly.

To zero-out non-readers or even just to lessen the numbers of non-readers here are some of the teaching techniques in reading remediation. Geoboards- pupils use rubber bands to form letters, words on the nail boards. Clothespins- pupils use cut-outs letters and syllables to make words in clothespins. Other is the Letter Balls- pupils use balls to spell words from the different word families or the CVC, CVVC and CVCV pattern.
