ON READING PROGRAM
(PHIL-IRI)
Rationale:
The Department of Education (DepEd) supports Every Child a Reader Program,
which aims to make every Filipino child a reader at his/her grade level. Thus, the DepEd
continue to administer the Revised Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI)
assessment to learners in public elementary schools nationwide.
One of its objectives, is to use the Phil-IRI data to serve as one of the bases in
planning, designing/redesigning the reading instruction of the teachers and the school’s
reading programs or activities to improve the overall school’s reading performance.
Activities
I conducted remedial reading to those identified students who had reading difficulties
based on the Phil-IRI Pretest.
I conducted it every grading period. I also gave them reading materials to be read at home
with their parents. After reading, the comprehension questions were answered by the
students. The parents took video of their son/daughter while reading the passage I gave
them.
To assess the reading levels of the students, the Phil-IRI Post Test was conducted.
The result of the pretest and post-test is shown in the table below.
PRE-TEST
POST-TEST
There were 35 students who have been part of the Phil-IRI Assessment and their
Level of Comprehension was divided into three groups; Independent, Instructional and
Frustration. From the pretest result it was identified that there were 8 Independent readers
(23%), 19 Instructional readers (54%) and 8 Frustration readers (23%).
The post test was then conducted after the remedial reading activities and the result
gradually improved. The post test result shows that there were 25 (71%) Independent
readers, 5 (14%) Instructional readers and 5 (14%) Frustration readers which means that
there is an increase percentage in Independent readers and decrease percentage in
Instructional and Frustration readers.
