Abstract
This study is a mixed method action research. It examined whether an intervention program which focused on a concrete approach to reading had enhanced the learners’ reading comprehension achievements and their academic self-efficacy consequently. The participants are 40 young adult students with learning disabilities. It showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension achievements among most learners although the rate of change among the weaker readers was slightly greater. Similarly, learners’ academic self-efficacy was significantly higher at the end of the intervention program. The researcher concluded that a longer period was required to maximize the potential of this intervention program.
