OBJECTIVE:
Consistent with the mandate of the Department
of Education through External Partnerships
Service and under its Brigada Eskwela Program,
to bring together all education and literacy
champions and supporters to take active role in
nation building by helping to teach Filipino
children how to read and become educated
for life.
CONTEXT:
 World Vision Development Foundation in Partnership
with the Department of Education through the Office of
External Partnerships Service established the project
called “BRIGADA PAGBASA” (as a form of Brigada
Eskwela Initiative ) a mass movement for reading that
envisions to bring together experts, change makers,
policymakers, and other stakeholders across all sectors
from international and local agencies and organizations
in the public and private sectors to form collaborations
among agencies to synergize efforts and resources
towards
addressing
education
challenges
and
opportunities to contribute in addressing current
challenges and gaps in the education in the country by
equipping our learners with 21st century skills.
 Brigada Pagbasa is a readership initiative that
aims to support existing enrichment and
remediation activities led by DepEd. It also
serves as social accountability platform that
encourages community participation and
accountability by ensuring that every member
of the community is aware of their role in our
children’s education.
Planning Stage
mapping of learners
orientation of teachers and
volunteers
development of locally – relevant
materials
MAPPING OF LEARNERS
we begin by assessing children’s literacy skills and
reading readiness using World Vision’s Functional
Literacy Tool or FLAT to identify the specific
enrichment activities that will be provided for our
children. Partners can also use other assessment
tools prescribed by the Department of Education.
ORIENTATION OF TEACHERS AND
VOLUNTEERS
Equip teachers, parents and other community
partners the necessary skills to support their children's
learning
Provide a contextualized teacher training program
for the volunteers and facilitators aligned with the
target competencies and needs of the learners.
DEVELOPMENT OF LOCALLY-RELEVANT
MATERIALS.
The modality depends on the community
protocol being implemented in the
community and learners' access to the
learning modality.
The Implementation Strategy
In our pursuit to help ensure that our children will become educated for life,
Brigada Pagbasa Program aims to support DepEd to help children have
increased learning outcomes by:
 providing children access to literacy enhancement programs using multimodal learning approaches.
 Mobilizing trained facilitators to conduct reading interventions using the
modality appropriate for the learners.
 Conducting pretest and post-test to determine learners’ progress as they
go about the reading program
 Conducting regular feedback sessions and monitoring activities with our
partners and reading facilitators to identify implementation gaps and
action steps to address the challenges.
TIMELINE : Year-round.
The program suggests a minimum of 15 sessions (8 weeks),
depending on the level of progression and the availability of
the child.
The session will begin with an assessment of the child’s
Reading Level using World Vision’s Functional Literacy Tool or
FLAT (AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR)
Suggested Reading Interventions are the Marungko(FIL) and
Fuller (ENG) Approach.
Mid-year assessment to monitor the progress of the child
(4th week).
Post-assessment to determine if the target reading level has
been achieved (8th week).
