Paired-Reading Technique (Prt): To Reduce the Word Pronounced After 5-Seconds Hesitation of Grade Four Pupils

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Paired-Reading Technique means pair-coaching between the independent reader towards his classmates who is in a frustration reading level. PRT (Paired-Reading Technique) activity was administered through the use of varied exercises and intervention.

METHODS

Four (4) sources of data were used for appropriate actions. Phil-IRI Pre-test records based on their results, highest number miscues on word recognition and their result of Phil-IRI post-test, an interview with their parents and guardians and other activities done to solve the pupils’ miscue on word recognition.

RESULTS

There was a significant result to 20 identified frustration level pupils because they reduced the words pronounced after 5 seconds hesitation miscues from frustration reader to instructional and independent reader. Other pupils claimed that they have no followed up of parents due to earn a living, that their parents are illiterate or uneducated. That they are tired of reading books while other pupils exposed to visual media or computer games. If these pupils were not given proper attention, they might repeat in Grade level due to failure to perform in the class activities.

DISCUSSIONS

Remedial instruction through giving a variety of activities and using the PRT (Paired-Reading Technique) to pupils gain them greater confidence, pleasure, and enjoyment that will lead them to desirable development of attitude in improving their reading performance.
