III. CONTEXT/
RATIONALE:
Reading is essential in learning. It is a skill that every learner
should possess to explore the wide horizon of learning concepts and
skills. As the famous Dr Suess said, “The more you read, the more
things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
This is true when learner gain experiences, possess love for learning
and find joy in reading. Thus, a reading program need to be established.
Various theories in reading were considered in coming up with a
program to improve the reading ability of the learners. First, the
traditional theory of reading recommends it's a process by which
individuals learn smaller, discrete words and parts of words before
learning how to read whole sentences, paragraphs and so on. Second,
the new cognitive and top-down processing approaches revolutionized
the conception of the way students learn to read (Smith, 1994). This
shows that reading is not just obtaining meaning from a text but a
process of associating information in the text with the knowledge the
reader brings to the act of reading. In this sense, reading is a dialogue
between the reader and the text which involves an active cognitive
process in which the reader’s background knowledge plays a key role
in the creation of meaning (Tierney and Pearson, 1994).
Lastly,
theory related to top-down processing called schema theory also had a
foremost impact on reading teaching. It describes in part how the
background knowledge of the learner interacts with the reading task
and illustrates how a student’s knowledge and previous experience
with the world is vital to deciphering a text. The skill to use these
schemata, or background knowledge, plays an essential role in one’s
trial to comprehend a text. These ideas are just some of the few theories
that every reading teacher should know to keep learners learn how to
read. In the light of conducting remedial reading, the mentioned
theories are ways to ponder on.
As school year 2022-2023 begins, new challenges along reading
was witnessed. As the initial assessment of reading show, there are
non- readers in Grade 1 to 4 and frustration readers in different grade
levels. This is one of the challenges after pandemic as the learning
modality shifts from modular distance learning to face to face. To
address this, the program “ Adopt a Reader Enthusiast” was
conceptualized at San Fernando South Central Integrated School .
