II. Abstract
Year: 2016-2018
School, Kaytitinga 1, Alfonso, Cavite, 30 thirty pupils from Grade three have been
obtained the highest frequency of 28 (7%) fall under frustration level of 58%
reading comprehension and only 3 (7%) pupils got below 59-79% under
instructional level. Nobody has reached the independent level. The study

2. What is the reading level in comprehension of the pupils respondents after
Project I Read.
Research shows that the data obtained after the execution of Phil-IRI
is the event, problem and ending of the story. Phil-IRI pre-test pupil
After the post test, question number one has the highest score of
5
respectively; and still question number 3 has the least number of correct
respondents before and after the implementation of Project I Read using the
paired simple t-test at 0.05 level of significance pre-test mean obtained was
7.4 while post-test was 25.8 with a t-value of -4.5 indicating that p-value
obtained is less than the level of significance, 0.05 indicating that there is a
significant difference between the comparison between the pre-test and post-
test result of the respondents before and after the implementation of Project I

IV. Context and Rationale
one of the problems that needs to be addressed (Philippine Education for All 2015). In
the year 2008, only 86.4% are functionally literate or those with basic reading, writing,
and computational skills (NSO, 2013). In public schools, reading skills of the pupils is
one of the problems. There are pupils who are having difficulty in reading and there are
those who can read but are having difficulty understanding what they are reading. These
It is challenging for these pupils to encounter words they cannot read and
understand because it would be hard for the pupils to understand the lessons and what
the lessons are all about (McElvain, 2005). Eventually, because of the difficulty in reading
the pupils would not be able to cope up with their lessons and would lack interest towards
their subjects. This often leads to dropping out of school. One of the reasons for dropping
out is having difficulty coping up with school work (Orbeta 2010). The pupils are not
down from difficulty in reading. Low quarterly test results, achievement tests and
diagnostic tests prove that there are pupils who have difficulty in reading.
This study seeks to find a way to help children with reading difficulties, improve
their reading skills through Project I-Read, a school based reading intervention program.
Noting details and making inference are important for a child to be proficient in reading
and it is useful in any other languages (Anthony & Francis, 2005). Likewise, it is said that
the most effective way of improving pupils’ learning is by using the mother tongue as the
language of instruction. It is in the basic premise of starting to learn where the learners
are and from what they already know (Nolasco 2009 as cited in Gallego & Zubiri, 2011).
8
As such, the pupils will be given reading intervention in Filipino. They should learn to
read and understand their first language first and eventually learn other to read and
From this research, Project I-Read was conducted in each of the teacher’s
classroom to discover where their skills are at on individual levels. When this occurs,
pupils have more gains by getting more attention and creating a bond with the teacher.
(Hausher et al., 2011). The PHIL-IRI test is the preferred tool to measure overall reading abilities
for pupils of average ability level from grades one to six. When teachers work with small
groups, pupils can master comprehension skills through the use of repetition. They hear
the selection both from their own lips and others in the group including the teacher.
Improvement Plan which was conceptualized by Dr. Brenda G. Alegre and the proponents
in 2016 to cater the needs of Kaytitinga Elementary School pupils. The duration of this
program run form July to November 2016, a total coverage of 15 weeks. Time allotment
is during 11:00-11:30, 12:30-1:00 3:30 every remediation period. This project were given
to 30 grade three pupils respectively which has been diagnosed under the frustration
level of the Phil-IRI. They were given small groups sessions with their teachers to give
them remedial classes. Materials used in these remediation program are: Phil-IRI
reading materials, DOLC’s Basic Sight Words, text books, and localized modules. Each
pupil understudy were given remedial notebooks and stickers that will serve as their
attendance, no attendance no sticker for their puzzle, sign of completing the Project I-

As of the present school year on its second year, starting June 4, 2018 Project I
Read is being adopted as one of the School Programs and Projects of the PPA’s after
careful planning and development of Priority Improvement Area Analysis (PIA)( See
Work Plan) . Last July 29, 2018 it was formally launched through a school program
together with the parents supporting their children wearing different costumes of their
favorite characters from the story and comic books parading inside the school ground.
(See program and pictures). Teachers are very supportive of the program in developing
a school culture genuine love for reading (See Accomplishment Report). Parents have
books, floor mats, small chairs and tables, cabinets and decorations. (See Project I Read
Monthly Report pictures). Parents and pupils have been shown wide array of valuable
experiences while putting up the reading corners and utilizing them for the pupils. (See
pictures). Thru project I Read, several projects were born under it like Project ICC4 which
group for reading activities where they will collaborate and care for their classmates who
are having hard time in reading. Nanay Ko, Guro ko is done during the pupils’ lunch
break where mothers are tutoring pupils to read; Project R2- Read and Read- pupils were
given remedial teaching where they will go to the different learning stations in the
classroom especially in the reading corners where they will read their favorite books
together with their tutor classmates. Parents were also invited to put up the Project I
Read – Reading Garden, where pupils can freely read books and spend spare time there.

VI. Action Research Questions
The researchers’ attention was caught by the following problems: pupils bring with
them difficulty in reading as they go to higher grade level, mispronounced simple English
words, cannot answer questions based on what they have read, difficulty answering
questions in English such as “Who are the characters in the story?”, “What is the setting
in the story?” “What is the problem in the story?” “What is the event in the story” and
“What is the ending of the story?” The pupils cannot answer in comprehension question
– who, what, where, when, and why and several pupils are still poor in reading basic sight
words; no teaching and learning materials that were used to assist and attract pupils in
