I. Rationale

The recent result conducted by Programmed For International Students

Assessment (PISA) showed poor reading literacy among Filipino and put them

last place in rank.

The said poor reading literacy of Filipino learners is observed even in

secondary schools. In fact, Philippine Reading Inventory (Phil- Iri) is also

implemented in Junior High School as stressed in DO 14 s, 2018.

In consonance to this, Calatagan National High School, even in times of

pandemic utilized different media platforms to address the issue on literacy.

II. Problem and Research Questions

the issue on literacy.

1. Will the project AIM and CARESS TV using different media platforms be

effective to address the problem on literacy?

2. How would the students respond to the project?
