Integrated National High School Galalan Integrated National High School conducted a screening test in reading and the Philippine Individual Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI), which revealed the need for targeted reading and vocabulary instruction for its students. The need for effective vocabulary instruction has become more crucial for Filipino learners, especially amidst the learning losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As reported in the Philippine Daily Inquirer's article titled "COVID-19 and the decline of Filipino students’ reading and vocabulary skills" (October 6, 2020), a study by Save the Children Philippines found that Filipino learners' reading and vocabulary skills have declined due to the pandemic. The study revealed that 70% of the respondents noticed a decline in their children's reading and vocabulary skills since the pandemic began. The lack of access to books and educational materials, as well as the limited opportunities for face-to-face interactions with teachers and classmates, were among the factors that contributed to the decline in students' reading and vocabulary skills. In light of this situation, Galalan Integrated National High School proposes Project REVIVE: Reading and Vocabulary Intervention through Various Exercises, a reading project aimed at improving the reading and vocabulary skills of students. Project REVIVE: Reading and Vocabulary Intervention through Various Exercises is a proposed reading project aimed at improving the reading and vocabulary skills of students. Since reading is a fundamental skill that plays a crucial role in a student's academic success and personal development. This project aims to help struggling readers improve their reading and vocabulary skills through various interventions, such as interactive reading exercises and vocabulary building activities. Objectives: The primary objectives of Project REVIVE are as follows: To improve the reading and comprehension skills of struggling readers in Galalan Integrated National High School. To enhance the vocabulary skills of students by increasing their word recognition, word meaning, and word usage. To promote a love for reading among students by providing them with engaging and interactive reading materials. The proposed methodology for Project REVIVE is a combination of in-class and extracurricular activities that will take place over a period of six months. The following are the activities that will be conducted as part of the project: Diagnostic Assessment: The project will begin with a diagnostic assessment to identify students who are struggling with reading and vocabulary skills. The diagnostic assessment will include a reading comprehension test and a vocabulary test. In-Class Reading and Vocabulary Exercises: Teachers will conduct interactive reading exercises and vocabulary building activities during class time to improve students' reading and vocabulary skills. Reading Club: Students will participate in a reading club where they will read books selected by the project team. The reading club will meet once a week after class hours, and students will engage in discussions and activities related to the books. Vocabulary Games: The project team will organize vocabulary games, such as word puzzles and word games, to make learning vocabulary fun and engaging. Parent Involvement: Parents will be invited to participate in the project by attending parent-teacher conferences and providing support to their children in reading and vocabulary activities at home. The effectiveness of Project REVIVE will be evaluated based on the following criteria: Improvement in Reading and Vocabulary Skills: The project team will conduct post-intervention assessments to measure the improvement in students' reading and vocabulary skills. Participation in Extracurricular Activities: The project team will track the number of students participating in extracurricular activities, such as the reading club and vocabulary games. Student Feedback: The project team will collect feedback from students to evaluate the effectiveness of the activities and make necessary adjustments.

Prestado, John David 3 WAYS FORWARD AND RECOMMENDATION: Continuation of Project REVIVE: Despite the absence of remaining nonreaders, it is highly recommended to continue Project REVIVE in the next school year. The following reasons support this recommendation: a. Sustained Improvement: While the initial goal of targeting struggling readers has been achieved, it is important to maintain the progress made and ensure that the improved reading and vocabulary skills are sustained. Continuous reinforcement and practice are essential for long-term retention and further development. b. Addressing Learning Losses: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant learning losses, including declines in reading and vocabulary skills among Filipino learners. Even if all non-readers have been addressed, there is a need to support the overall recovery of students' reading and vocabulary skills. By extending Project REVIVE, the school can continue to provide targeted instruction and interventions to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on students' educational outcomes. c. Holistic Approach: Project REVIVE not only focuses on reading and comprehension skills but also aims to enhance students' vocabulary skills and promote a love for reading. These broader objectives contribute to the holistic development of students and their overall academic success. By continuing the project, the school can ensure a well-rounded education that nurtures students' language proficiency and cultivates a lifelong passion for reading. d. Sustainability and Consistency: By maintaining Project REVIVE in the next school year, the school can establish a consistent and sustainable approach to reading and vocabulary instruction. This allows for the implementation of effective strategies, continuous monitoring of progress, and the opportunity to refine and adapt interventions based on ongoing assessments and feedback. e. Collaboration and Partnerships: To enhance the effectiveness and impact of Project REVIVE, it is recommended to establish collaborations and partnerships with relevant stakeholders. These may include local libraries, community organizations, and educational institutions. By working together, resources can be pooled, and additional support can be provided to expand the reach of the project, such as access to a wider variety of reading materials and opportunities for engaging reading activities beyond the school setting. f. Professional Development for Teachers: To ensure the successful implementation of Project REVIVE, it is crucial to provide ongoing professional development opportunities for teachers. Training sessions and workshops can equip educators with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively deliver targeted reading and vocabulary instruction. This investment in teacher development will enhance the quality of teaching and facilitate the sustainable growth of students' reading and vocabulary skills. g. Parent and Community Engagement: Engaging parents and the wider community is vital for the success of Project REVIVE. The school should organize regular meetings, workshops, and awareness campaigns to involve parents in supporting their children's reading and vocabulary development at home. Additionally, community initiatives, such as book drives or storytelling events, can be organized to foster a reading culture beyond the school environment and encourage active participation from the community in promoting literacy. h. Monitoring and Evaluation: Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the project's progress are essential to assess its effectiveness and make necessary adjustments. Regular assessments can provide valuable data on individual student growth, overall improvement, and areas that require further attention. This feedback loop will enable the project team to refine instructional strategies, modify interventions, and ensure that Project REVIVE remains responsive to the evolving needs of the students. By implementing these recommendations and continuing Project REVIVE, Galalan Integrated National High School can further enhance the reading and vocabulary skills of its students, support their academic recovery from the pandemic, and foster a lifelong love for reading and learning.
