Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) "Make Reading a Habit" of Silangan Elementary

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This research study looked at the Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) "Make Reading a Habit" of Silangan Elementary School. This study evaluated the effectiveness of "Make Reading a Habit" in improving the reading status of Grade II pupils whose reading skills belong to the frustration level and the non-readers of the school.

METHODS

The researcher used the descriptive research methodology because the study focused on gathering data that essentially describes accurately and objectively how the things are. The respondents of the study were the ninety-seven (97) grade II pupils of Silangan Elementary School for the school year 2016-2017 whose reading skills belong to the frustration level and non-readers. In this study, the descriptive method of research was used wherein the researcher is directed towards understanding the prevailing conditions (the facts that prevail in a group of cases chosen for the study). This method is essentially a technique of quantitative description of the general characteristics of the groups. Data can be useful in developing an approach to problem-solving as the study gathers facts relating to the existing conditions (Sevilla et, al. 2006)

RESULTS

The number of non-readers which was 25 during school year 2016-2017 was reduced to 5 for school year 2017-2018 and 0 for school year 2018-2019. The results of study are as follows 1) The pupil-respondents perceived that they were often exposed to Dolch Basic Sight Words (weighted mean of 3..92) ; 2) Schedule of daily reading session was given to them (weighted mean of 3.82); 3) were tutored by their peers who are fast learners (weighted mean of 3.74) and 4) the teachers used the Phono-visual techniques and blending sounds to form meaning words (weighted mean of 3.6).

DISCUSSIONS

The results revealed the number of the pupils who were identified are non-readers decreased at the end of two school years as there were no more pupils classified as non-readers. The results showed that “Make Reading a Habit” is an effective Continuous Improvement Plan.
