 Case digest
Name: Andro Dela Cruz
Grade level: Grade 3
Reading level in Filipino: Grade 1
Andro is in Grade 3. He was asked to read a short story in Filipino with a Grade 3
readability level. He tried to read each word by reading each syllable (Ka-pag . . .
Kapag. . . ba-kas-. . . bakas-. . . syon . . . bakasyon. . .) Then he reads the whole
word. As a result, it took him a long time to finish reading the selection. When
asked questions about the selection read, he was not able to remember most of
the details. Out of the six comprehension questions, he was able to answer
correctly only one item
 WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The Phil-IRI used as a classroom

based assessment tool aims to
measure and describe the
learners’ reading performance in
both English and Filipino
languages in oral reading, silent
reading, and listening
comprehension

When should it be administered?
 Who can administer the test?

All Filipino subject teachers for Grades 3

to 6 and English subject teachers for
Grades 4 to 6 can administer the Phil-IRI
Group Screening Tests in their respective
classes.
ELLN-TRAINED TEACHERS can
administer the Phil-IRI Graded Passages

 Where to use the phil-iri data?

The Phil-IRI data shall serve as

one of the bases in planning,
designing/redesigning the
reading instruction of the

reading program and activities to
improve the overall school’s
reading performance. Source: DO No. 14, s. 2018

 Who needs to take the gst?

Grades 3 to 6 The administration of the Phil-IRI GST

for a whole class takes approximately
Phil-IRI GST in Filipino 30 minutes.

Grades 4 to 6
All Filipino subject teachers for
Grades 3 to 6 and English subject
teachers for Grades 4 to 6 can
Phil-IRI GST in English administer the Phil-IRI Group
Screening Tests in their
respective classes.
 Features of gst?
 Each test includes 3-4 selections.
 There is a Filipino and an English version.
 Each selection has multiple-choice items.
 The total number of test items is worth 20 points.
 The cut-off point for referral is a raw score of 14.
 Those who score 13 points and below are referred for
further testing.

 WHAT DO THE GST SCORES TELL?

Students who garner a Raw Score that is equal to or greater

than 14 (75%) need not undergo further testing. The first
stage is done for these students.

However, students who garner a Raw Score that is lower than

14 (74%) need to undergo further assessment, as this may be
an indication that the student is experiencing difficulty reading
at-level text.
Analysis of gst results
 Case of s32
Student 32 (S32) registered a
raw score of 15/20. When his
class adviser was consulted
regarding his performance, he
was identified to be one of the
non-readers from her class.
This information may cause us
to wonder how he scored above
the cut-off.

The Phil-IRI Oral Reading Test is

administered in order to:
1.identify the student’s miscues in oral
reading;
2. record the number of words that a
student reads per minute; and
3.find out how well a student
understands the passage read.

The Phil-IRI Listening Comprehension

is administered when the student is
identified as a nonreader. The purpose is to
find out how well a student understands the
selection which will be read by the test
administrator. Then the test administrator
reads the multiple choice questions and the
student answers them orally.

The Phil-IRI Silent Reading Test

may be administered after the Oral

further check the student’s
comprehension skill.
This is an optional activity.

Awareness of a child’s reading

levels can help the teacher identify
materials that are suitable for
developing the learner’s reading
skills.
 Analysis & interpretation
The test administrator gave Pedro (Grade 5 pupil) a 2nd grade
passage, and his performance registered at the independent level for
that passage.

The test administrator then gave him a higher level passage (3rd
grade) and Pedro's performance registered at the instructional level.

Finally, the test administrator gave him a text that is a grade level
higher (4th grade), where his performance registered at the
frustration level. The test administrator now has Pedro’s
independent, instructional and frustration levels.

 READING INTERVENTIONS
Once all the data describing the child’s
reading performance has been
gathered, the teacher may use this
information to design an intervention
program (i.e. remedial reading
program) or adjust classroom
instruction.

READING INTERVENTIONS

Source: DO No. 14, s. 2018

 RECOMMENDED INTERVENTIONS
1. Intensive training on word recognition.
2. Marungko Approach in teaching this will help him a lot.
Andro specifically needs help with blending (a skill that
influences decoding) and segmenting (a skill that
influences spelling) sounds in a word.
3. Practice with word lists and multisyllabic words will help
develop fluency in word reading.
4. Once Andro’s word reading performance has picked up,
reading phrases and sentences should be taught next.
 RECOMMENDED INTERVENTIONS
1. Intensive instruction on word recognition in English should be
given. The lessons on word families (probably starting with a
review of short vowel words, then proceeding to words with
consonant blends and digraphs, words with long vowel sounds . .
.) will help Gina a lot. Moreover, a drill on the sight words will
make word recognition in English an attainable task for her.
2. Her performance will also greatly improve if decoding is taught
hand-in-hand with vocabulary.
3. While Gina may be still struggling with reading words in English,
how English words are read may be modeled to her using a read
aloud.
