A study of teaching literacy to primary school English underachievers based on patterned storybooks

The purpose of this study is to explore a new method of teaching literacy to primary English underachievers. In order to attain the objectives, the following research questions were proposed: (1) What aspects are shown in the literacy learning of primary English underachievers through the patterned storybook reading? (2) What changes are shown in the affective domain of primary English underachievers by the literacy learning based on the patterned storybooks? To find answers to the questions, eight 5th grade underachieving students were taught reading and writing. Data from diverse sources were collected and analyzed in a qualitative manner. The data analysis yielded the following results: First, the students in the study could have various experiences in literacy learning because patterned storybooks provided them with opportunities to explore the target language. Second, the study had a positive impact on the students such as overcoming of negative emotions toward their reading and writing, the improvement of reading and writing skills, and increased internal motivation of self-regulated learning. Based on the results, suggestions for future studies are provided.
