Accomplishment Report in the Implementation of Project REAL

(Reading Enhancement Activities for Learners)
School Year 2020-2021

I. Introduction
Project REAL (Reading Enhancement Activities for Learners) aims
to make our learners more receptive and proficient in reading. It also seeks to
reduce or totally eliminate non- readers. This project REAL anchored with the
DepEd project 3B’S (Bawat Bata Bumabasa).
In a move to bridge literacy gaps among learners, the Department of
Education (DepEd) is intensifying its campaign on reading proficiency with the
unveiling of Hamon: Bawat Bata Bumabasa (3Bs. With previous national
assessments revealing that learners still need improvement in literacy skills,
DepEd’s 3Bs initiative encourages offices from central to division level and
schools to intensify their advocacies for reading to make every learner a
reader at their grade level and capacitate teachers to become effective
reading instructors, according to DepEd Memorandum No. 173, s2019.
Anchored on a number of researches, the 3Bs initiative is grounded on the
needs of the learners and will develop succeeding interventions for them to
acquire reading and comprehension skills.
Project “REAL” is a yearlong, high-interest, teacher friendly,
learner- involving tool that teaches reading and language skills. Pupils work
with a single high- interest passage each week, encouraging the rereading for
details that is so necessary for fluency development. This enable the learners
to be more active and participative in different reading activities intensified by
our teachers which are very beneficial to the reading development of learners.

II. Implementation

Grade one teachers conducted reading pre- assessment via video

call, online reading assessment and home visitation to our 79 Grade one
pupils (oral) both Filipino/ English to assess their reading standing from
October, 2020 – January, 2021 to intensify the suitable reading intervention
suited to our learners who are belongs to learner’s at risk/ non-readers. Due
to the months of pandemic pupils ability and learnings become stagnant.
Assessment after, our principal, Mrs. Milagros C. Calingasan assigned each
teachers a group of pupils to hold an intervention and reading tutorial to the
chosen pupils. To the different reading activities administered by the BRSES
teachers anchored to our reading Project REAL Reading Enhancement
Activities for Learners.)
All teachers of Balete Relocation Site Elementary School conducted
reading assessment with the use of reading assessment tool, to determine the
reading readiness and reading level of learners. Monitoring assessment and
processes last from February, 2021-May, 2021. Our school launched project

health. As of now we are still on- going process of reading activities so as to
totally swipe up non-readers.
