Integrating the Whole Language Approach in Multicultural Education: Developing Reading Comprehension Skills and Cross-Cultural Awareness in Elementary School Students

“…If elementary school students do not immediately have reading skills, they will experience many difficulties in studying subject matter in subsequent classes (Viyana et al, n.d.).
