Obstacles)
Target Dates: November 18-25, 2022
Proposed Venue: 10-Golden Shower Classroom
Background/ Rationale
Learning to read is particularly hard because there are many
things to consider; the phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling pattern,
vocabulary, reading comprehension, and etc. These things can make
reading very frustrating for school learner.

We recognize that our school is faced with variety of challenges

risk, and no culture of reading. The results are also the same in the
study of Cabardo (2015) where in it was revealed that majority of the
students belonged to frustration level of reading proficiency in silent
reading while in instructional level for the oral reading in which
majority of the males are less proficient in reading compared to
females in both silent and oral reading.
In line with the DepEd Memorandum 173, s. 2019 entitled
“Hamon:Bawat Bata Bumabasa”, and Regional Memorandum 310,
s.2022, also known as Intensifying Reading Recovery Plan to Address
Learning Gaps, a Reading Enhancement Program for all grade levels of
Bambang National High School entitled “Project HERO” (Helping Every
Readers Overcome Obstacles) will be implemented to address the
learning gaps and low performance in reading brought about by the
instructional disruption covered by COVID-19.

under Oral Recognition, Frustration Level has a total of 1,007
students, Instructional Level has a total of 949 students, and
Independent Level has a total of 1,126 students.
