This study aimed to measure the impact of an intensive reading program on developing reading skills for students with learning disabilities at the elementary level. The sample of the study consisted of (30) students with learning difficulties, who were randomly assigned to two groups: (15) students in an experimental group and (15) students in a controlled group. In this study, the researcher used the experimental method. To achieve the goals of the study and data collection, a test was designed to measure reading skills consisting of (18) items, a scale to observe the level of reading skills, and an intensive reading program. The results showed that there are statistical differences related to the experimental group. They were taught according to the intensive program in developing reading skill among students with learning difficulties in the elementary stage compared to the control group who were taught in the traditional way. Furthermore, the most important recommendation of the study is the importance of adopting intensive programs to address reading difficulties due to their significant impact. (Published abstract)
