I. INTRODUCTION
Amidst the threat of the Covid19 pandemic, face-to-face classes were suspended for almost
two years. Hence, the occurrence affects the pupils' learning, including their reading and
comprehension skills.
Thus, fifty-three or 37% percent of pupils from Grade 3 and Grade 4 of Pedro H. Escueta
Memorial School were identified as struggling in terms of reading and comprehension in English
based on the result of the 2021-2022 Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) and Philippine
Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI). Struggling readers are those literacy level result is Level
2(word level) and level 3 (paragraph level) in Grade 3, while struggling readers in Grade 4 are
those reading and comprehension result is at Frustration level. As a result, the school-initiated
Project REAP or Reading Enhancement Activities for Pupils, headed by our School Head,
Ma’am Gemma H. Ocampo, to cater to the struggling pupils to improve their reading and
comprehension skills. Even though reading intervention is challenging for teachers and pupils,
considering the new standard set-up in the teaching-learning process. Nevertheless, the school
decided to make the project a home-based reading intervention to continue enhancing the pupils'
reading and comprehension skills.
II. OBJECTIVES
Project REAP aims to:
• improve reading and comprehension skills in English of fifty-three struggling pupils from
Grade 3 and Grade 4 of Pedro H. Escueta Memorial School.
• focus on enhancing the reading and comprehension of struggling pupils through various
activities.
III. PUPILS DEVELOPMENT
Project REAP started from November 2021 until July 2022. Class advisers identify the struggling
readers in class, including the frustration readers, based on the 2021-2022 EGRA and Phil-IRI results in
English. Most of the participants in the project do not have stable internet connections for e-learning. Thus, the
class advisers of Grades 3 and 4 initiate printing and distribution of reading materials to be monitored later
through home visitation and weekly distribution together with WHLP. Funds from MOOE and other
stakeholders were also part of the project. “My Parent, My Teacher” is the approach used in this project
wherein parents were encouraged to guide their children in reading while they stayed at home during the
distance learning due to the pandemic. Collection and follow-up of the reading materials depend on the time
frame set by each class adviser.
Since limited face-to-face classes were implemented in the school, the project is still ongoing. Class
advisers continue to give reading exercises to the participants before the start of the course during their face-to-
face classes while distributing reading materials to those pupils who decided to be in a modular distance
learning.

V. DATA REPRESENTATION
A. Pre- Assessment Result
Below is the consolidated pre-test EGRA result for Primary Level (Grades 1-3) and PHIL-IRI
result for intermediate Level (Grades 4-6).
Table 1 shows that 11 out of 60 pupils from Grade 1 are at Frustration or 1-2 level, 46
pupils at Instructional or 3-4 level and 3 pupils at Independent or 5-6 level in reading. At the
same time, 12 out of 76 pupils in Grade 2 are at Frustration or 1-2 level in reading, 38 pupils are
at Instructional or 3-4 level, and 26 pupils are at Independent or 5-6 level. Lastly, 20 out of 68
pupils in Grade 3 are at Frustration 0r 1-2 level in reading, 18 pupils are at Instructional or 3-4
level, and 30 pupils are at Independent or 5-6 level. As indicated in the result, pupils from Grade
3 have the highest number of readers at frustrations level among the primary level, followed by
Grade 2 and Grade 1, who have the minor frustration level.
Table 2 present that 33 out of 75 pupils from Grade 4 are at Frustration level, 27 pupils at
Instructional level and 3 pupils at independent level in reading. On the other hand, 16 out of 70
pupils in Grade 5 are at Frustration level in reading, 36 pupils are at Instructional level, and 18
pupils are at independent level. Lastly, 6 out of 41 pupils in Grade 6 are at Frustration level in
reading, 23 pupils are at Instructional level, and 12 pupils are at independent level. Based on the
result that pupils from Grade 4 have the highest number of readers at frustration level among the
intermediate level, Grade 5 and Grade 6 have the least number of readers at Frustration level.
With the given result, the project focuses on readers at the frustration level, mainly Grade 3 and
Grade 4 pupils, to enhance their reading and comprehension skills.
