ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Before we get into the details of the manuscript's technical and contents, we'd like
to express our deepest appreciation to those who have been a part of this capstone project
since the beginning. One of the most major academic obstacles we have faced has been
this journey without the help, patience, and guidance of the people involved. As a result,
we extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who supported us along the way.
Tagalog Phonics using Letter, Picture, and Sound Association Technique" was
presented with pride and honor, which is the result of our hard work, dedication, and
proponents, would like to acknowledge our adviser and panel of experts’ skills and
knowledge in supporting us: Ms. Hilene Hernandez, Ms. Julieta Umali, Mr. Reden Paul
Thank you for providing us with such great and educational opportunities!

Introduction
Phonics using Letter, Picture, and Sound Association Technique” is a mobile app which
will help people especially Grade 1 students and parents. Teaching Phonics can be
intimidating but this method prepares the child to read any word. The presence of mobile
technologies within preschool and elementary classrooms has been increasing, yet review
Ni Putu Pebri Ariati, Ni Nyoman Padmadewi and I Wayan Suarnajaya said that
requirement for the children to survive and succeed both in educational and social lives.
One of the most effective strategies for enhancing children’s early reading and literacy
skills is through Jolly Phonics. Despite the popularity and its effectiveness, there is still a
incredibly integral aspect of our lives. Every age group is now very well acquainted with
the marvels of smartphones and tablets—these would include children that are enrolled in
the best international schools in Manila. “Teaching Phonics means teaching the sound of
the letter or letter groups. Thus, the child learns to read letter by letter to form the word,
compared to sight words where the child learns the word as a whole.” based on Daddy
Jinoe (2020).

On the other hand, modern technology has already impacted a lot in our day-to-

technology, this will only justify that learning Phonics and other things would be easier
taught through the use of technology. There are many reasons to support why phonics
instruction is essential. In 1950’s, in Rudolf Flesch’s best-selling book Why Johnny Can’t
Read, Flesch concluded that reading programs that include systematic, intensive phonics
teaching phonics with our national language. The program will have a variety of
entertaining features that will make learning more enjoyable for youngsters and increase
their engagement, allowing them to adapt knowledge and become motivated to learn new

This application will serve as a guide and can be a stepping stone for Grade 1
students to learn the Tagalog alphabet and learn how to read in a fun and enjoyable
manner. This research will be conducted to see the improvement of the kids in the field of
reading and familiarizing the Tagalog alphabet because nowadays, parents are teaching
their children how to speak English before they even learn the Tagalog language.
One of the aims of this study is to use a mobile app to track the improvement of the
student over time. This study also employs a mobile app that is easy at any time. In this
study, the said mobile app will be installed to the smartphone, to effectively play the
educational app for the students and it will then be utilized in Cabetican Elementary
School.
General Problem:
Students lose focus while learning phonics words because they don't grasp the
other terms in the Tagalog phonics word language and are distracted by external
influences such as online gaming. Students who can use phonics abilities to decode

Scoring System
The researchers used a formula for the computation of the data as the weighted
mean. Weighted Mean is a statistical method that computes the average by multiplying
the weights with its individual mean and taking its total. It is a sort of average where
weights are assigned to a singular value to determine the overall significance of every
perception.

Conclusions
Overall, based on the results of the survey before, it has been presented that the
research exceeds the ratings of 4 out of 5 and disagreement means less than 2. This
shows that there is a demand for the research or alike. Not only the pet clinic owners
strongly agreed to research’s system manifestation but also the client of clinic owners as
it will greatly help in today’s setup, slowly bringing back what was before pandemic
emergencies. The latest web technology features also like validation of data for security
monitoring for both safety of owner and its clients is what make the research more
This clearly shows that the study will benefit future researchers since it will
provide research data for studies that are related to this study. This will aid future
their research. The researchers discovered that the existing pet management system
lacked protection to their clients and in appointments. They also discovered that there
was no web-based system and that they could only make appointments in the clinic by
hand.

Recommendations
order products in the pet clinic. Thus, the features of the research were implemented. But
along the course of the research, due to less resources and time, the researchers presented
suggestions that could benefit the research to be improved further in terms of:
codes selections
(e.g. doctor fee, surgery tool, pet medicines, pet maintenance, insurance, etc.)
4. Mobile application of the system to further cater users due to ease of access.
