the faculty some of the most recent updates as regards to the topic.

The second facilitator, Emily D. Montecillo, tackled the issue of poor reading
comprehension among students. He first tried to interest the participants with fun facts
about the reading process. He then elaborated on the differences between the terms
reading, reading comprehension, and literacy. He also discussed the severity of the
problem in terms of reading comprehension levels among junior high school students,
not only at the school level, but also at a national level. After detailing the problem, the
facilitator had an interactive discussion with the participants about the classroom
strategies teachers could innovate and implement in order to help decrease the number
of students with low reading comprehension. To test the participants’ knowledge and
