DISCUSSIONS

The utilization of Project PINKY (Pagbasa sa Ikauunlad ng Kabataang Yaman) as a form of reading intervention enhanced the reading leveland interest of Grade II pupils. There is clear support for the idea that enormous amounts of reading materials should always be present in areas where there are pupils, such as the classroom, nooks, doorways, and corners, among others. Flooding pupils with books that suit their age and captivate their interest will greatly aid in the development of their reading level and interest.
