A Strategy to Improve the Reading Ability of the Pupil Through the Fuller Approach

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Reading is a complex developmental challenge that we know to be intertwined with many other developmental accomplishments: attention, memory, language, and motivation, for example. Reading is not only a cognitive psycholinguistic activity but also a social activity. Being a good reader in English means that a child has gain functional knowledge of the principles of the English alphabetic writing system. Young children gain a functional knowledge of the parts, products, and uses of the writing system from their ability to attend and analyze the external sound structure of spoken words. Understanding the basic alphabetic principle requires an awareness that spoken language can be analyzed into strings of separable words, and words, in turn, into sequences of syllables and phonemes within syllables.

METHODS

The research uses the descriptive method in the study to gather necessary data from reliable sources of information about improving the reading ability among grade two pupils using the fuller approach. In the conduct of the study selected Grade II pupils will be used as the subject for study. These are selected based on the result of the Reading Inventory that will identify the number of pupils with reading difficulty.

RESULTS

This research helped the Grade II teachers to develop their understanding of the strategies that pupils will need for them to improve their reading skills in English. We have found out that using Fuller Approach can lead the student to improve the reading ability.

DISCUSSIONS

The researchers conducted an assessment test about the level of Grade two pupils in terms of reading ability, a survey about the factors affecting the reading ability of the pupils and improvement of the mean score of pre and post-test about the significant effect of using Fuller Approach on the reading ability of the pupils. Reading CVC words through Fuller Approach be given emphasis during the graders. Encourage a sense of personal responsibility among our children for one's own progress. Follow-up of parents at home of what has been learned in school. Being industrious be inculcated in the minds of young learners. Reading habits develop in pupils during their early age. Regular attendance is observed to have a mastery of the basic skills. Implementing a program of the government like the 4P's is continued to lessen malnutrition. Further, recommend teacher monitoring and supervision to gain a positive result.
