II. Rationale
DepEd Memorandum No. 001, s. 2024
The Department of Education (DepEd) remains steadfast in its
commitment to delivering quality, relevant, inclusive, and responsive
basic education. This commitment is further strengthened by the present
administration’s Eight-Point Socioeconomic Agenda and the MATATAG
Education Agenda to produce competent, job-ready, active, and
responsible citizens, equipped with essential competencies and skills for
lifelong learning.
In light of these considerations, DepEd shall implement Catch-up
Fridays beginning January 12, 2024, across elementary and secondary
schools and community learning centers (CLCs) nationwide. All Fridays of
January 2024 shall be dedicated to the “Drop Everything and Read”
(DEAR) activity and orientation for field officials. It shall also be used as a
venue to gather feedback from field implementers on the guidelines of
Catch-up Fridays.
III. Narrative Report
Catch-up Friday program is part of our initiative to promote literacy
and foster a love for reading among our students. The interactive
approach employed aims to make reading enjoyable and meaningful,
enhancing students' comprehension and enthusiasm. The reading
program session was attended by learners and language teachers.
The Catch-Up Friday reading program continues to successfully
engage students through interactive and dynamic reading sessions. The
program not only improves literacy skills but also fosters a positive
attitude towards reading. Feedback from students highlights the
effectiveness of interactive elements in making reading enjoyable and
impactful.
Our Catch-Up Friday initiative focused on an interactive reading
program designed specifically for students who face challenges with
reading. This program aims to support these students in developing their
reading skills through engaging, interactive methods that cater to their
individual needs.
