Project R&C: Read and Comprehend

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Many researchers find that teaching reading strategies is a key element in developing student comprehension. Knowing this, still a lot of teachers lack a solid foundation for teaching these reading comprehension strategies. Therefore, teachers need to be prepared on how to design effective comprehension strategies and how to teach these strategies to our students. This program helps the students especially those individuals who lack in comprehension skills to develop their own with the help of faculty, classmates and even their parents.

METHODS

This program helped students with poor reading and comprehension skills. The researchers selected them based on the result of their Phil-IRI. The team determined the root of their lack of comprehension by means of a thorough validation and data gathering. They were then subjected to some interventions with the aid of a team of teachers and students. The team discussed the results and made a careful evaluation. The researchers also collected feedbacks and recommended some important improvements to consider for future processes.

RESULTS

It was found out that many students can read but most of them cannot comprehend what they were reading. There were a lot of factors to consider for their poor performances. Such things are lack of practice, not properly guided by teachers and parents, family problems and many more. This intervention program helped these students to improve in their reading comprehension skills with the aid of teachers and students.

DISCUSSIONS

With the results of this intervention program, the school committed to continue providing remediation to frustration level students. This program can also be expanded for other problems of students. The program can be standardized and create a manual of operation to aid other schools in the area.
