ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine the importance of Reading Program Strategies. The
researchers ponders that, reading is one of the most important skills in language learning
process. The students were able to exert the strategies if they are provided to them
appropriately by their school teacher. Therefore, the students are motivated by using these
strategies. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researchers designed an experimental
method for learners as a tool for data collection. The sample of study consists of (75) pupils,
selected from Pagbilao West Elementary School. The findings of the study indicate the result
of reading proficiency level of grade 1 pupils in Pagbilao West Elementary School. In this
case, the schools and facilitators should focus on the enhancement of reading proficiency
level of pupils.

INTRODUCTION
Reading skills are necessary for a person to be able to learn from texts and are
essential for lifelong learning. An effective way to understand texts thoroughly is to use
reading strategies. Students do not usually learn reading strategies incidentally therefore, they
must be taught directly. Hence, teachers should focus on teaching reading strategies (Koch &
Spörer, 2016). On the other hand, the researchers wanted to investigate whether participants
would benefit from the intervention in terms of improving their own reading skills.
Therefore, the intervention that the researchers implemented was designed to determine how
However, not every student acquires reading skills at the same rate. For the reason
that, some students encounter difficulties such as reading proficiency, poor comprehension,
repetitive reading, word repetition and lack of intervention program. This paper will address
the following questions: 1) How can reading proficiency be characterized? 2) What kind of
intervention program will be implemented? 3) What are some of the effective strategies to
use? Therefore, these problems need to examined more in detailed. The problems that the
Project S.C.A.L.E.R.S encountered are, the number of non-readers or not yet ready pupils
The Project S.C.A.L.E.R.S aims to employ some of the best strategies for the
students and to seek help from others. Also, to remedy the reading problems, develop reading
skills and finding effective interventions for Grade 1 Pupils of Pagbilao West Elementary
School.

Reading proficiency is the essential skill required for academic success, especially
after the third grade. Students are expected to be readers at the end of third grade, so reading
instruction time is diminished or eliminated in favor of other disciplines. From fourth grade
on, most information is derived from written sources: textbooks, notes, online sites, etc.
Consequently, any fourth-grade student who is still at the basic level will struggle with
lessons in science and history, for example. While they will be able to cite details in their
texts, they may not be able to draw conclusions or evaluate the significance of what they are
reading. As these students move up in grade level, the amount of reading will increase, and
the texts will be more complex. Without assistance, these students will struggle and continue
According to Minero (2019), there are better alternatives to round-robin and popcorn
reading: “Of the 30-odd studies and articles I’ve consumed on the subject,” says Todd Finley,
a professor of English education, “only one graduate research paper claimed a benefit to
round-robin reading or its variations.” It simply doesn’t benefit students to have poor fluency
skills and pronunciation modeled, and asking students to take turns reading aloud in front of
the whole class can stigmatize struggling readers. Choral reading—when the teacher and
class read a text aloud together—takes the spotlight off of struggling readers while
encouraging them to participate. Research suggests that it improves reading fluency, expands
According to Mullan & Nugent (2019), NEPS has produced a resource that explores
effective teaching in the Early Years, and this resource, A Balanced Approach to Literacy
Development in the Early Years, contains in-depth information about best practice in the
teaching of early literacy skills. This resource also gives an overview of all the elements
needed for effective reading instruction. Teachers working with struggling readers who are at
a very early stage of development, may find some of the resources particularly helpful. It is
acknowledged that Early Years education is crucial for the early development of language
and literacy skills. There have been recent developments in quality-assuring the Early Years
sector in Ireland and the DES Inspectorate now have a particular focus on early literacy in
Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) settings. It is clear that the following elements
should all form part of an effective programme. An emphasis on oral language is to include
comprehension strategies. To those who struggle to read, there is a risk that the main purpose

intervention is that the child becomes a constructive learner, learns how to learn and becomes
a self-regulated learner.
According to Aydogmus (2021), Metacognitive reading strategies are used before, during
and after reading, and raise awareness of the reading process. These strategies are crucial for
the individual to be able to regulate their reading processes, to realize and remedy their

The instrument used by the researchers in the collection of data for the completion of
this research was the result of the pre-test and post-test of the grade 1 pupils. A modified
assessment tool adopted from the district reading program was used to determine the reading
level of the pupils. The assessment tool indicated the reading level such as Non-reader (not
yet ready), frustration (reading reader), instructional (beginning readiness) and independent
reader (rapid reader). From the result of the assessment, the unified reading materials crafted
by the district and the school reading materials based from Marungko Approach were used.
The reading materials contained different passages and activities focused on the reading level
of the pupils and enhancement of their performance in reading proficiency and reading
comprehension. A monitoring tool used by the teachers was also considered to determine the
progress of the pupils. The same passages and questions were given before and after the

Based on the table, the result of the reading proficiency of Grade 1 Pupils in Pretest

Rationale
Reading difficulties usually begin as early as kindergarten. Children who have not
mastered reading skills by first grade will continue to fall behind their peers and probably
never catch up without the right interventions. Reading interventions are activities and
Struggling readers can be students who are not able to decode, or break up, words
into syllables. Through decoding, students sound out unfamiliar words they encounter while
reading. On the other hand, you may have a reader who can decode but cannot comprehend
what they're reading. It's also possible to have a reader who can comprehend and decode, but
whose oral reading is poor. The reader may orally read very slowly, mispronounce many of
the words, or read in monotone without expression. This type of reader has problems with
fluency. In all cases, the use of reading intervention programs, strategies, and activities will
