The researcher observed the factors which affect the teaching of reading in lower primary classes. These factors included; lack of instructional materials, poor methods of teaching and effects of teachers’ attitudes towards the teaching of reading, These were confirmed after the data was collected, analyzed and discussed. The researcher also used research questions which were; How does the use of instructional materials affect the teaching of reading in lower primary classes?

The researcher came up with the following findings; the highest percentage for lack of instructional materials was 28.0% for teachers and 28.0% for pupils. This proved that lack of instructional materials affected the teaching of reading in lower primary classes. The highest percentage of respondents who said they used methods given was 32.0% for teachers and 31.3% for pupils. The highest percentage of respondents who said that the methods were not used was 12.0 % for teachers and 6.0% for pupils. This therefore revealed that poor methods of teaching affected the teaching of reading in lower primary classes. The highest percentage of those who had positive attitude towards reading was 34.0% for teachers and 48.0% for pupils. The highest percentage of those who had negative attitude towards reading was 20.0% for teachers and 22.0% for pupils.
