SITUATION:

Pupils of
Minsulao
Elementary
School were
introduced to a
reading activity
every day.In
order for this
pupil to
participate they
were graded
individually. As a
teacher I gaveall
my effort for
them to learn on
how to read.
Still not all
pupils were able
to readproperly.
II-PROBLEM
Poor reading
abilities of the
pupilsTitle:
Factors
affecting the
reading abilities
of pupilsFactors
causing the
poor reading
abilities of the
pupils
III-
ALTERNATIVE
SOLUTION
1.
Evaluate pupils
reading habits
to find out
where they
need
improvement.
Do
they “say" the
words you’re
reading? Do
strange words
slow their speed
and
comprehension?
Do they read
every word? Do
they re-read
sentences? Do
theyvary your
speed to suit
the material?
 
2. Provide the
conducive
learning
environment.
Advise pupils to
choose a place
where you’ll
have few
interruptions,
have good
lighting, can sit
in a good
chair,and won’t
be distracted by
radio, TV or
other noises.
Hold the book
about fifteen
inches away
(about the
distance from
your elbow to
your wrist).
 
3. Increase
pupil’s
 vocabulary by
providing
meaning to the
words they do
notunderstand,
maintaining a
list of new
words,
and knowing the
origin of words.
 
4. Match
your speed
to the material
you are re
ading. Know
what and why
you’re
reading. Preview
the material,
especially when
studying. Study
reading requires
closer, slower
reading. For
leisure reading
you can
go faster. Be
sure you get
theinformation
in graphic aids
and illustrations.
 
5. To improve
your reading
speed, practice
for about 15 to
30 minutes each
day,checking
your rate in
words-per-
minute. Check
your comprehen
sion
bysummarizing
what you read.
Ideally, you
want to read
faster while
maintainingyour
understanding.
Therefore, use
the same type
of materials
each time
youpractice to
provide the
consistency
needed
for meaningful
practice.
6.
Begin your
reading by
looking at the
pictures, or
listening to the
music to get a
feelfor what you
are going to be
reading about.
 

IV- PLAN OF
ACTION
A.
 
Objectives:
Enable pupils
of Minsolao
Elementary
School to
improvetheir
reading abilities.
 B.
 
Time Frame:
Within 1 week of
following the
steps in
improving
poorreading
abilities they
should be able
to read properly
and can
enhancereading
skills.
 C.
 
Target Subject:
 English Reading
for everyday
life.
 D.
 
Activities to be
undertaken:
 

 
Improve
 reading fluency
 in 5 minutes a day

 
Improve
spelling
 and learn the 8
ways we put letters
together to make
words

 
Improve reading
comprehension by
playing a
reading
comprehension
 game

 
Improve
writing skills
 using specially
designed graphic
organizers
E. Research
Design:
The essentials
of action
research design
follow a
characteristic
cycle
wherebyinitially
an exploratory
stance is
adopted, where
an understanding
of a problemis
developed and
plans are made
for some form
of
interventionary
strategy.Then
the intervention
is carried out
(the "action" in
Action
Research)
duringwhich
time, pertinent
observations are
collected in
various forms.
The
newinterventiona
l strategies are
carried out, and
this cyclic
process
repeats,continui
ng until a
sufficient
understanding of
(or a valid
implementations
olution for) the
problem is
achieved. The
protocol is
iterative or
cyclical innature
and is intended
to foster deeper
understanding of
a given
situation,startin
g with
conceptualizing
and
particularizing
the problem and
movingthrough
several
interventions
and evaluations.
 V:
Presentation of
Results:
After
implementing
the steps in
improving pupils
reading skills,
pupils
ofMinsulao
Elemetary
School can now
be read properly
and the also
gradeswhere all
high.
