 Reading Enhancement Program of Alternative Learning System Learners Using Peer-
Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS)

PART I. Situation/ Scenario/ Setting

Mastering reading is one of the difficulties faced by pupils due to many reasons such

as having illiterate parents at home and absenteeism of learners’ . That is why researchers

had to find another strategy to use hoping to somehow enhance and improve the reading level

of the learners’. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of reading with peers

using the Peer- Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS) among our learners of Alternative

Learning System S.Y. 2019-2020.

PART II. Findings and Insights

The researcher will conduct face to interview with the respondents of Alternative

Learning System of Medina District, Division of Misamis Oriental. Before that, an approval

from the Schools Division Superintendent of Misamis Oriental through the Schools Division

Supervisor will be sought. Aside from the Superintendent and Supervisor, the Principal, and

teachers that are included in the study will also be consulted.

PART III. Summary

In conclusion, learners’ overall reported positive perception of PALS as a result of

opportunities to earn rewards and the paired reading which fostered social interaction and

reading achievement possibly increased as a result of immediate feedback, opportunities to

respond, greater focus and time on-task. This qualitative basic research supports quantitative

data about PALS program as an effective model of engagement theory (Fuchs et al. 1999).
