The results of the research that have been described are initial reading difficulties in fourth grade elementary school students who are not able to differentiate between letters that have almost the same shape, are not able to read combinations of consonants and are not able to read consonants and vowels. The conclusion of this research is that difficulties in beginning reading are due to the student’s lack of interest in learning, lack of interest in reading, lack of study guidance and lack of family assistance in the process of learning to read at the beginning as well as factors within the student.
