It has been claimed that personalization has a huge potential of providing solution to facilitate the learning path based on children ability and preferences. Diverse research on personalized learning for children have been conducted which, are commonly concerns on the development and implementation of personalized learning products and services. However these researches have little emphasized in exploring slow learner personalized learning process particularly on their reading ability. With that, this paper aims to highlight two key important processes of personalization for slow learner children which are construction of user profile and scenario. The scope of this study is on personalization of reading for slow learner children. There were 13 slow learner children with reading difficulties from primary school participated in this study. The key findings from this study are the construction of user profile and scenario that represent the personalization for reading. These user profile and scenario construction then provide guidelines for the development of personalized interface design for slow learner reading application. </span></span></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>

Summary
There are tremendous changes on how children learn and how knowledge is delivered. The changes can be attributed to the extensive use of the technology that knowledge is accessible anytime anywhere. There is limited research that examines the effectiveness of the technology that assists delivering knowledge to learners, especially children who are slow learners and require special attention. The first consideration is to understand the whole pictures of the slow learners and the second consideration is to determine the best approach of using technology to tackle the root of the problem. Difficulties in reading is identified as the leading problem related to literacy among slow learners. Difficulty in reading will negatively influence their academic performance at school
