The subjects were four Year 5 pupils who were very weak in English. This study employed a qualitative research method. It was a descriptive case study using four weak pupils and it was conducted for 16 days. The samples were screened by using their Year 1 to Year 4 final examination results and those who obtained grade D and E were chosen. The pupils were asked to recognize the key words from Dolch Lists using word recognition skills. When they had succeeded in these activities, they were asked to recognize words in three texts from Year 4 and Year 5 English textbooks. The findings showed that the pupils improved in all three word recognition skills namely configuration clues, phonemic clues and picture clues. The subjects did not only improve in their word recognition skills, they also developed in their leadership ability and motivation. The teachers from national and vernacular schools can make use of word recognition skills to teach their pupils in order to facilitate Linus 2.0 program from Year 1 to Year 3.This study would not only help national remedial programs but also promote weak pupils reading ability. 2015 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1045 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1045 text eng N/A openAccess Masters Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi N/A
