Title of the Action Research: Saturday Reading
Program
- Providing remedial reading program is
important to improve both reading fluency
and comprehension because fluency and
comprehension are particularly important in
the stage of development and early
intervention can impact the progression of
reading difficulties.
From the title, I think, the study…Project MYRA
Making Youngsters Read Amazingly
Making learners decode in the early stage of
development especially in Grade I is very important
 especially that this is their foundation year. The use
of Phonological Awareness facilitates growth in
printed word recognition.
