explored the unique problems in the text of the learning material affecting
these students. The participants were 120 Saudi science students at ELC with
reading problems who had to participate in this study. In the proposal for
convenience sampling, a mixed approach was proposed. SPSS program was
also suggested by the researcher to evaluate the quantitative date that included
questionnaire and an experimental study.However, Atlas ti 7 was
