30 Grade 7 frustration readers of Eduardo Cojuangco National Vocational

High, Estacion and Canan Paniqui, Tarlac

1.Rationale
Many Researches and actual class observations showed that the reading ability of student is one
of the factors affecting academic performance of the school children. Students who can read have the
advantage compared to those who cannot. Readers find it easy to understand and follow directions
correctly. They showed enjoyment and interest in every curricular activity given by the teacher. These
are the basis of the school to launch a program that will somehow address the needs of every frustration
readers and slow readers in the school.This will also help the school in developing love for reading and
study habit which is considered as one of the innovations of the school to attain a better learning
outcome which will then result toward producing a highly productive and values-oriented citizen of the
community anchored to the DepEd Policies and Programs.

2.Project Objectives and Expected Results

 With this aim, Eduardo Cojuangco National Vocational High School, launch a reading program
entitled “Learn to Read, Read to Learn”. This caters not only the frustration readers and slow readers
but all students in the school in order to develop love for reading and make learning an enjoyable
experience for them.However,due to lack of resources the school was not able to provide all the reading
materials needed to fully implement the program.
Our school has already conducted series of reading assessments both in Filipino and English. The result
itself speaks of the need to make reading performance a priority program of the school.Part of the
program is to require all teachers to conduct Reading Interventions as part of their supervised study
giving importance to those who fell under non-readers and Frustration level. Independent readers and
good readers will serve as leaders during their peer reading activity.
On the issue of lack of motivation, the absence of interest or simply a reading area may contribute to the
problem. This is primarily the reason in proposing an intensive reading program to effectively improve
the reading skills of the learners in Eduardo Cojuangco National Vocational High School. Our school
therefore is taking steps to avail of the support from local NGO’s , philanthropists and other foundation.
Specifically, it has the following objectives:
a. Increase independent readers
b. Decrease the number of frustration readers as well as students
under frustration level
c. Provide reading materials suited to their level
d. Develop love for reading and study habit
e.Improve better learning outcome

3. Description of Project/Activities

Reading Remediation
This is a reading tutorial to students at the intermediate grades who are still at the Non
Reader (NR) Level. The student’s adviser and the Language teachers attend to students alternately. It is
a daily reading activity for the student that runs for 30-45 minutes during lunch break and every Friday.
The primary goal here is to make the students learn to read or sound out words through learning the
alphabet and the sounds that letters make.
Guided Reading
This is a reading session for students in the instructional level from Grade 7. This activity
will be supervised by the class advisers that will run for 30 minutes daily during lunch break or during
Homeroom Guidance. This will be the specific activity under the program “
NOONTIME/AFTERNOON READING .” Placing learners in small groups of four to five ,the students
will be given opportunity to work in small groups as they practice reading, listen to others and reflect on
their own understanding of the material being read.
Story Read-A-Loud
This reading activity is for the students under Frustration Level that runs for 30-45 minutes
before closing time in the afternoon or during lunch break and every Friday during Homeroom
Guidance. The class advisers supervise while a member of the SPG (Supreme student Government), a
classmate (who is under Independent Level for Grade 7), or a parent volunteer reads a story read aloud.
It is believed that exposing the child to stories read-aloud brings an amount of positive motivation to
read and helps in developing comprehension.
