Project R -TEA (Reading Through Enhancement Activities)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Each learner has a different learning capability. We cannot expect the learning outcome of one learner to be the same with others. So, it is really necessary that we are equipped with different materials and method. The purpose of this action research is to discover the effective reading enhancement activities for non-reader pupils of grade one to develop their reading skills.

METHODS

The respondents of the research are the grade one pupils of Banca Banca Elementary School who cannot read fluently in Filipino. Before the study was conducted, parents of the concerned pupils were informed. This action research was started through the outcome of pre-test given to the said class. It was the basis to come up with this kind of study. Teachers have researched some other approaches that can be effectively used to enhance the reading ability of the said pupils. As the result of some researches, Claveria approach was used to them as their reading enhancement activities. The approach was used for their remedial activities.

RESULTS

At the end of the research, a post-test was conducted to find out the effect of the chosen approach to the ten pupils of grade 1-Mahogany. Based on the result of the test conducted, 80% of the pupils used in our study was able to read fluently in Filipino. This shows that the chosen Claveria Approach is effective in teaching reading.

DISCUSSIONS

The use of Claveria approach in the primary level is a tool that can help the pupils read with enjoyment. Enhancement of reading activities can be fun with the help of multimedia reading and pupils themselves can be motivated.
