Republic of the Philippines Department of Education Region IV-A CALABARZON Division of Quezon Lopez East District SAN ANDRES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INTERVENTION PROGRAM SY 2020-2021 I. Title of the Project Teacher- Parent- Peer ( TPP) Reading Program II. Rationale Reading competency is a vital skill for a child to learn in his foundation age for the subjects taught by teachers. Without this skill, the objective of delivering quality education becomes pointless. Learning to read is an essential part of basic education. Reading, after all, is an important gateway to the other disciplines. It has been said that reading is the primary avenue to knowledge (Stern and Gould, 1995). It is the cornerstone of education and the foundation of lifelong learning. Reading is a significant skill that learners should know. Learners read texts for various goals from gaining information to enjoyment. Kim and Anderson (2011) and Salehi, Lari, and Rezanejad (2014) expressed that reading has a key role in completing all university courses. San Andres Elementary School is situated in the mountainous area of Lopez, Quezon, thus causing the pupils to walk hours through rivers, valleys, and hills. On bad weather conditions, attendance became a problem and resulting to cases of absenteeism, tiredness and inattentiveness to class discussions. Non-readers are fruits of this misfortunes along with poor study habit, lack of parents’ support due to their own illiteracy, and sometimes child-labor. Early grade non-readers affect the over-all performance of the school. Cases of early grade non-readers hinder the development of their performance both academically and emotionally. Without appropriate intervention to address cases of non-readers in early grades, it will dramatically affect the pupils until such time where they cannot perform properly in school and in real life experiences. Teacher-Parent-Peer ( TPP) Reading Program is an intervention program that aims to develop the word recognition skills of the 1 st Graders using appropriate reading materials suited for their age group. It is a strategy wherein given the reading materials, teacher conducts class reading and then one- on- one tutorials during remedial sessions. Then, given a reading checklist at home, parents will assist the pupils in reading and sign corresponding checklist. Little teachers will lead the group reading during recess and lunch time with equivalent point incentives. Reading is the backbone of education and the foundation of lifelong learning. Learning to read in first several years of school is essential to success in later grades and in life. Students who read at high levels are more likely to stay in school. On the other hand, students who struggle to read are more likely to struggle in other learning areas and tend to retain in the same grade level. Without significant interventions, those students who begin school behind their peers rarely catch up later. Despite the “Every Child A Reader Program” initiative of the Department of Education, still, teachers are faced with several students who struggle to read at their grade level. This is the reason why DepEd remains steadfast in strengthening this initiative by mandating all schools, school divisions, and regions to develop interventions to address these reading issues. III. Objectives: The Primary Goal of Teacher- Parent- Peer ( TPP) Reading Program is to develop the word recognition skills of Grade 1 pupils upon its utilization. It specifically aims to: A. Determine the percentage of Grade I beginning readers before and after the utilization of the TPP Reading Program B. Uplift the reading abilities of pupils with word recognition skills difficulties C. Instill camaraderie and empathy among pupils, teachers, parents, and peers. IV.

Assess the effectiveness of the project using post test in Phil-IRI. 4. Evaluate the outcome of the project through a Descriptive- Evaluation Inferential Method of research. 5. Provide narrative reports ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT FINDINGS/RESULT The findings revealed that after using Teacher- Parent- Peer ( TPP) Reading Program there was an improvement in the reading performance of Grade Three pupils. The significant difference in the reading level indicated that the percentage of non-reader from 100% to 10%. Therefore, Teacher- Parent- Peer ( TPP) Reading Program is highly recommended to be used by other teachers in their Remedial Reading Programs.

CONCLUSION With the tabular and graphical data presented, it can be deduced that this intervention program can help uplift the reading ability of the Grade I Non- readers. RECOMMENDATION Teacher- Parent- Peer ( TPP) Reading Program is highly recommended simple intervention program to be used inside the classroom.
