TITLE: EVALUATING MALAYSIAN GIFTED
STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION
THROUGH DIFFERENTIATED READING ACTIVITY
INTRODUCTION
Differentiated reading refers to a specially
designed reading program where learners are
grouped according to their ability, and teachers
modify the content according to learners’ level
in order to enrich advanced learners, improve
intermediate learners and assist beginner
learners.
RESEARCH PROBLEM

They often find themselves having difficulties when speaking in English, apply correct grammar and acquire limited vocabulary.
