Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The ability to read well is said to be the best achievement in one's life. But most of the pupils nowadays find it difficult to deal with. In our program, we encountered varying reading levels of pupils and how the MARUNGKO Approach aided those low performing ones to excel in reading.

METHODS

A qualitative method of research was utilized in the study. The respondents of the study were 22 beginning and struggling readers in Grade 1 which was identified through a pre-reading assessment. A reading intervention was conducted and interpreted well through the use of MARUNGKO approach to all the pupils who became part of the study.

RESULTS

As the intervention was practiced there are improvements that were shown among the pupils. During the administration of Post reading assessment, none of them was considered as non-reader. There is still a need to implement reading programs to pupils under the struggling level to make their reading level suitable for what is expected to their grade level. The findings implied that Marungko Approach is very effective to lessen the non-readers and to increase the reading levels of the pupils.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrate the need for active involvement between the teacher, pupils, and parents in order for the MARUNGKO Approach to be effective. The guidance given in this early age was a constant factor in the success of the reading program.
