Abstract:
It has been observed that pupils in primary schools have poor reading ability, which could hinder pupils' overall performance in all academic endeavor. The study focused on Effect of Neurological Impress Method on primary school pupils' Reading Skill in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State, the study was anchored by Howard Gardner theory of multiple intelligence and David Rumelhart Interactive Reading Model Theory. Pre-test, post-test, control group quasi-experimental research design was adopted for this study, the population of the study comprised of all primary four pupils in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in this study, stratified sampling technique was used to stratify co-educational schools into public and private schools' primary from which three schools were randomly selected. in which 84 pupils participated in the study in total. Reading skill performance test and two instructional guides were used as instrument for this study which was subjected to validity and reliability, the reliability coefficient obtained was 0.85. Data collected were analyzed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics of analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA). The findings indicated that there was significant effect of treatment on primary school pupils' reading skill (F (2; 139) = 228.701, P < 0.05), there was no significant effect of gender on primary school pupils' reading skill (F (1; 139) =.1.985; P > 0.05), there was no significant effect of school type on primary school pupils' reading skill (F (1;139) = .032; P > 0.05. Based on the findings of the study it was concluded that neurological impress method can improve primary school pupils reading skill than the conventional (lecture) method of teaching and learning. It was therefore recommended that since neurological impress method can improve primary school pupils reading skill classroom teachers should try to use this method by ensuring that pupils model after teachers reading during the reading activity and also read aloud to the pupils in so that the pupils can read fluently after series of repeated reading activity.
