II. Project Summary:

LIBROrary in a Box Project is the adaptation version of the Gugma sa Pagbasa

Project of Bulak Elementary School which starred from 2018-2020 when in-face
learning was yet applicable. However, with the havoc made by the Covid 19 Pandemic
to the usual educational setting, a turnaround project must be initiated to continue
educating young minds of Bulak Elementary School despite the introduction of distance
learning modalities to combat the ongoing disease while everyone awaits concrete
solutions for in-face learning to happen.
In Bulak Elementary School, a considerable number of non-readers and non-
numerates exist primarily because the children enrolled in this school are yet starting
their formative years in their academic journey. Though the situation is understandable,
it would pose a great challenge for the school leader and teachers to contest the
situation to higher ground.
With the advent of massive changes in the academic environment, reading and
learning number concepts are basic skills that need to be developed in young minds for
them to thrive in the spiraling educational system. These two skills are lifesavers of
today’s generation because it fuels them to gain more in life by capacitating themselves
with the basic skills of reading and numeracy. Relatively, we need professional and
 well-trained teachers to be able to see to it that these basic skills are inculcated in the
minds of the children. However, the pandemic situation does not permit direct contact
between the teacher and the children due to health measures set by the health
department of this country, the school must navigate other means to concretize these
ideals.
The current situation led to the decision of creating an academic home environment
where these children live and study in the meantime while the access to physical
school is restricted. LIBROrary in a Box Project was then conceptualized to put up a
class home where these children live. L-ove for I-nteresting B-ooks to R-ead O-n (rary-
Read Aloud, Read with You) envisioned to put up a sense of personal library at home
amid the challenges of a pandemic to sustain the learners’ literacy and numeracy skills
of Bulak Elementary School. The box is utilized by the learners where the learning
resources from the school are brought home by their home learning facilitators. It
includes the printed modules which is the main facility for learning, supplementary
books to enhance the capacity to read and mastery of numeracy skills, laminated
materials for further remediation to learners who are academically struggling, and
wallpapers for mastery of nationalistic and school customs. The learners are required to
put up a wall in their homes posting the wallpapers and setting the LIBROrary box
beside their study area.
By doing so, the school anticipates an increment in learners’ academic performance
at the end of the school year with the great partnership with the home learning
facilitators (parents and relatives helping the child to learn) as front liners in this claim.

III. Project Background

The LIBROrary in a box project is a learning support system to improve

continuously the literacy and numeracy skills of learners of Bulak Elementary School
during these challenging times. Literacy and numeracy skills help learners to thrive
across different learning areas. The project specifically focuses on literacy development
which includes reading and writing skills. At the same time, it also enables learners to
develop learners’ numeracy skills which focus on enhancing the ability to comprehend
and apply mathematical concepts and processes in solving problems and making
decisions that can be applied to real-life scenarios.
IV. Project Objectives
The LIBROrary in a Box project aims to support learning activities for children during
the implementation of the distance learning scheme. Specifically, it
a. Requires all children to have learning spaces at home while they develop their
literacy and numeracy skills.
b. Expects academic gains in all subject areas by providing learners with effective
learning resources for enhancement.
c. Inspires other learners by showcasing readers and mathematicians of the
week/month on a social media platform.
