Abstract:

The study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a training program in developing the

auditory perception skills and its effect in improving reading skills of students with learning

disabilities (LD). The sample of the study were 40 students who were chosen purposively from

students who have learning disabilities and who were attending 4th grade resource rooms. These

participants were divided into two groups: the first group was an experimental group while the

other was a control group. Each group consisted of 20 male students with LD. Moreover, the study

used the auditory perception scale prepared by Al-Kailani and Al-Waqfi (1998) which was

standardized on the Jordanian environment. In addition, a reading achievement test prepared by the

researchers was used. The training program was applied on the experimental group to develop

auditory perception skills for a period of two months. The Shared Variance analysis (ANCOVA)

was used to analyze the data. The results were as follows; there were statistical significant

differences at (α < 0.05) in auditory perception skills between the subjects of both groups; the

experimental and control group being better for experimental group on the total auditory perception

scale, also on its dimensions in favor of the experimental group. Moreover, there were statistical

significance difference in academic (reading) achievement between both groups at the level (α <

0.05) in favor of the experimental group

Key Words: auditory perception, students with learning disabilities, resources rooms reading skills
