 Introduction/Foreword

Reading Intervention Module 2 is a series of reading activities

for learner who has difficulty in reading. San Jose National High
School English Teachers of Puerto Princesa City DepEd worked
together to write a series for learners who needs reading
remediation. The series is made based on the needed reading
remediation to help struggling reader.

Reading activities are designed to improve reading fluency

and comprehension skills among Junior High School learners; that
is, learners are provided with several word examples to read from
which they can improve reading skills. All word examples in each
activity were carefully chosen from the teaching experience of the
author. Every activity is arranged such that each activity prepares
the reader for the next level of module.

The author feels that a solid foundation in basic reading skills

is a must for one to become a competent reader. And with the help
of this Reading Intervention Module, the author hopes that reading
will be meaningful for the reader.
