pronounce the sounds in reading words and phrases.
 Encourage the underprivileged children to still continue to learn despite their financial
incapabalities through inspiring them during tutoring sessions.
 Build and promote sociability among the tutors and project beneficiaries during tutoring
sessions.
 Expose the tutors in a teaching-learning environment where they can practice their
teaching skills that will benefit them in their journey as future educators.
 Create a successful project which can inspire other college students and local officials to
support reading programs and volunteer in similar projects for underpriveleged
children.
