Project GMES (Gain Meaningful and Essential Sessions) in Reading

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Among all the grade levels in GuyamMunti Elementary School, it was in the Grade VI that had 95% of the pupils included in the Frustration Level in the Administered Pre-Test in Phil-IRI (English-Oral Reading Test). As part of the school's intervention program, the school is in the process of conceptualizing to conduct a CI project to address the number of Grade-VI pupils included in the Frustration Level in the Phil-IRI Pre-Test in English-Oral Reading.

METHODS

The descriptive method was utilized in the application project. Purposive sampling was employed wherein the nineteen(19) pupils were the target respondent of the reading level and included in the Instructional Level in the Phil-IRI Post-Test in English-Oral Reading Test. By having the said program, the language literacy and reading comprehension were addressed among learners.

RESULTS

After the implementation of the project, 15 or 79% of 19 Grade VI Pupils who fall under Frustration Level became Instructional Readers by March 2017. This project brought strong partnership among the teachers, parents, and other stakeholders and became co-owner of the project. They worked together in the progress of the pupils and possessed one major goal, to achieve better learning outcome. As a result of this project, the teachers and the school, as a whole, learned how important it is tobecme process-oriented, prepare the accurate data, have evidenced-based results, and most importantly, make children the center of education.

DISCUSSIONS

It has been revealed in this project that a better performance in the Different ICT Assisted ReadingSessions was highly evident from the high class performance in the reading test results. There were also improved reading levels in the Administered Post-Test Phil-IRI (English -Oral Reading) that manifested in the increased number of pupils under the Instructional Level. The results also showed more assertive Grade VI Pupils in understanding passages as part of their reading classes.
