CONTEXT AND RATIONALE:
 Based from the result of Phil Iri Group Screening Test
conducted last August 12, 2018. It was found out that
27.02% are independent (10 out of 37 learners) readers.
 This Project READY will try to implement to measure the
reading ability of the respondent and help the teacher
identify the factors that affect the reading ability of
Grade 3 selected learners.
 It will also take actions to know if the interventions to be
use will help them to improve their level, and in
conducting the Post Test using Phil Iri Materials from
frustration to independent reader.
CONTEXT AND RATIONALE:
 Improving Reading Skills through the Project READY
(Read to Educate and Develop Young minds) is a short
term intervention, appropriate to increase the
learner’s reading skills level of learning.
 Itis also a motivation to the learners to learn with
their peers, that needs time and effort.
 According to Archeretal (2003) studies on adolescents
and adults confirm that it is never too late to
overcome a reading problem although early
identification and intervention are most effective.
CONTEXT AND RATIONALE:
 Poor working memory is another factor that affects a student’s
ability to read proficiently and comprehend text (Alloway,
Gathercole, Kirkwood, & Elliott, 2009; Swanson, Kehler, &
Jerman, 2009).
 To facilitate student learning, adaptions of the curriculum are
needed, and a focus on word recognition and reading strategies is
necessary so that students can read independently. Deshler et al.
(2001).
 This action research will conduct the intervention to find out the
effectivity of Project READY (Read to Educate and Develop Young
Minds) to improve the reading ability of Grade Three Learners’ in
San Roque Elementary School for academic year 2018-2019.
ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
It will seek to answer the following questions:
 1. What is the level of Reading of conducting the
Pretest Phil Iri Group Screening Test?
 2. What are the factors that affect the learners
reading ability?
 3. What are the significance effects of Project READY
during the Pre and Post Interventions to Grade 3-
Loyal?

EXPECTED OUTPUT:
1. To increase the 27.02 % independent readers to 50%.
PROPOSED INNOVATION, INTERVENTION,
AND STRATEGY:
To answer the problems for this research, the following activities will serve
as interventions:
 Peer to win it – They will work in pair and read 50 words in
paragraph for 5 minutes, followed by a comprehension check
with 3-5 items. A reward will be given (such as candies, a star
sticker, etc.) This activity will be implemented during Tuesday
at 1:00-1:30 in the afternoon.

 Books for Sale – researcher will provide printed materials to the

learners every Tuesday at 3:30 pm as part of their activity to
read at home. Every Thursday’s (1:00-1:30pm) teacher will
conduct a thorough follow up and give some activity. If they
read and answer it correctly a reward is waiting for them after
the quarter.
PROPOSED INNOVATION, INTERVENTION,
AND STRATEGY:
To answer the problems for this research, the following activities will serve
as interventions:
 Little Teacher Reader – Each small group will have a
corresponding teacher who will initiate the said activity. This
activity is schedule during Wednesday every 1:00-1:30 pm only.

 Family is Love – the proponent will give an activity to Parents,

to follow up their child’s reading performance at home to show
their love for reading and to improve their reading ability skills.
A contract of agreement will be signed by both parties. Printed
materials such as flashcards (words phrases, stories) will be
distributed during Friday at 3:50-4:15pm and to be check it on
Monday.
ACTION RESEARCH METHODS:
The result of Grade 3-Loyal in Phil Iri Group Screenng
PreTest will serve as the basis to conduct this action
research study.
 SurveyForm will be distributed to the respondent
to know if they have good comprehension level
and factors that affect reading skills.
 Thisaction research will employ descriptive
method of research in discussing the answers
presented in the three questions mentioned.
ACTION RESEARCH METHODS:
a.) Participants
The participants of the study are the identified (27)
frustration readers of Grade 3 Loyal for academic year
2018-2019.

b.) Data Gathering Method

 The result of Pre Test for Phil Iri Group Screening
(Grade 3-Loyal) will be collected and evaluate to
get the number of frustration readers.
 Parents agreement will be distributed to those
respondent in the propose study.
ACTION RESEARCH METHODS:
b.) Data Gathering Method
 There will be a home visitation during three consecutive
Sundays of December for the distribution of the survey
form. It will be collected on the 4th Sunday of December to
identify the cause and effect of having a poor reading
ability.
 Researcher will conduct the Post-Test of GST (Group
Screening Test in Phil Iri) to know if there’s an increase of
number of frustration level to independent.
 Lastly, gather the data result of those learners who shows
improvement in reading skills.
ACTION RESEARCH METHODS:
c.) Data Analysis Plan
 Percentage method will be used to get the number of respondent in frustration level
to independent.
The following formula will be used to determine the increase of number of Independent
reader.
P = No. of score
Total # of Items
whereas;
If the pupil got 15 score out of 20 questions he/she will classify as an independent reader.
 To determine if the learners in the frustration level improve their reading ability to
independent level. This formula will be used.
% = No. of Pupils got 15 scores above
Total # of Respondent
Qualitative Method used to determine the factors affecting the reading ability of the
learners.
