The article “A Comparative Analysis of Word Structures in Malay and English Children’s Stories”, published in Pertanika Journal of Social Science and Humanities (March 2013), explores the structural differences in word formations between Malay and English storybooks. 

In 2013, the authors compared the word structures in Malay and English children’s books, finding that Malay words often have complex syllable and morpheme structures.

This study focuses on understanding these differences to develop a reading intervention program for early Malay struggling readers. It highlights the importance of integrating syllable components in reading interventions for dyslexic students.
