In line with the implementation of the National Reading Program as an integral component
of the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP), the Department of Education implements
Catch-up Fridays.
Starting this January 12, 2024, through the Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) Day, this
initiative aims to allow learners to engage in independent silent reading of their preferred material.
Catch-up Fridays is designed to strengthen the foundational, social, and other relevant
skills necessary to actualize the intent of the basic education curriculum by focusing on the
development of learner's reading, critical thinking, analytical, and writing skills.
During the reading activities, both teachers and learners engaged in a meaningful and
active use of teaching. Activities during the reading activities were role playing as learners
visualize scenes, characters, and situation. Children solved puzzles, molded clay to recreate
characters or scenes from the text, wrote a diary journal, and think-pair/group-share. They also
sing a song or chants related to the story, played games, used flashcards to highlight words or
syllables.
From all the experiences derived through teaching reading, we can conclude that these
experiences played a great help to the reading teachers both personal and social development in
teaching.

method. Reading is a complex, multi- part process. Reading in classroom takes many forms, but it
is often used as way of introducing grammar or vocabulary items. At the most basic level reading
is the recognition of words from simple recognition of the individual letters and how these letters
form a particular word to what each word means not just on an individual, but as part of a text.
The pupils played Pinoy Henyo. They were grouped into 2. The first group guess the word
that written in the card. Pupils sung “The Ant and the Grasshopper” and showed them some
flashcards with the words taken from the song. The pupils were given tongue twisted clip. The
pupils personalized a welcome message for their classmates. The pupils’ enthusiasm and
participation demonstrated the power of reading and its potential to spark imaginations and inspire
brains. As the day ended, the kids exited the school grounds, their bags heavier with books and
their heads full of stories, eagerly anticipating the next Reading Catch-Up Friday.
