Araþtýrmada PowerPoint programýnda hazýrlanan okuma materyaliyle hafif düzeyde zihinsel engelli öðrencilerin okuduðu kelimeyi, cümleyi ve metini anlama düzeylerinin geliþimi saðlanmaya çalýþýlmýþtýr. Araþtýrmada tek-denekli araþtýrma modellerinden AB modeli kullanýlmýþtýr. Araþtýrmanýn katýlýmcýlarý ilköðretim okuluna devam eden kaynaþtýrmadan yararlanan üç zihinsel engelli öðrencidir. Araþtýrma, baþlama düzeyi verisi toplama ve uygulama süreci olmak üzere iki aþamada gerçekleþtirilmiþtir. Baþlama düzeyinde ve uygulama sürecinde veri toplamak amacýyla; okuduðu kelimeyi anlama, cümleyi anlama ve metini anlama becerisini geliþtirmek amacýyla hazýrlanan slaytlar kullanýlmýþ, elde edilen veriler kayýt formlarýna kaydedilmiþ, veriler grafiksel olarak analiz edilmiþtir. Elde edilen verilere göre, PowerPoint programýyla geliþtirilen ve görselliðin ön planda olduðu materyallerin öðrencilerin kelimeyi, cümleyi ve metni somutlaþtýrmasýna ve anlamlandýrmasýna yardýmcý olduðu görülmüþtür. Sonuç olarak, PowerPoint sunu programýyla hazýrlanan okuma materyalinin hafif düzeyde zihinsel engelli öðrencilerin okuduðunu anlama becerilerini geliþtirmede etkili olduðu düþünülmektedir.

In the study, the improvement processes of the mild mentally retarded students’ reading comprehension levels were examined by using the reading materal prepared in PowerPoint software. The AB design model, a single-subject design model, was used in the study. The subjects in the research were three mild mentally retarded children attending the integration class in a state primary school. The research was carried out in two phases, data collection at the start-level and application process. In order to collect data in the start-level and application process, material for determining the level of understanding a vocabulary item that they read, vocabulary cards, a data recording form for understanding the vocabulary, sentence reading cards, a data recording form for understanding the sentence, texts that were read independently, a data recording form for understanding the texts were prepared and used. The research was categorized under four sub-categories: reading comprehension skill, vocabulary understanding, sentence understanding, and text understanding. The material was applied and the collected data were interpreted in the light of graphical analysis. According to the findings, the material, that is prepared in PowerPoint program in which visuality stands in the forefront, helps the students make concrete and give meaning to the word, sentence and the text.
