Rationale:

“Every learner a reader” is one of the goals envisioned by the


Department of Education along with its dream of a quality education
under the K-12 Curriculum. Reading is an important skill for success in any
facet of life. Reading is more than simply picking out words on a page; it is
a process of critical thinking, which involves evaluating ideas and applying
them to everyday situations. Basic reading skills include vocabulary
acquisition, pre-reading strategies, textual comprehension, organizational
skills, and response techniques. Mastering these basic skills enables the
reader to increase his/her reading speed, comprehension, and overall
vocabulary.

In the Philippines, the ability to read and write is a priority, so any


effort by the government, organizations, or even private individuals to
promote literacy is celebrated. Shifts in the country’s education system
were rooted in structural changes and policymaking bodies throughout
history.

With the implementation of the new curriculum, the department


focuses on a learner-centered curriculum where learners are developed
and honed to become culturally aware and globally competent individuals.
To attain these visions, new programs and activities, one of which is the
Reading Intervention Program, are introduced.

This Reading Intervention Program which is lined with DepEd Memo


No. 39, 2012, Policy Guidelines on Addressing Learning Gaps and
Implementing a Reading and Writing Program, is an avenue for developing
learners' capabilities and capacities in all subject areas.
.
General Objectives:
By the end of the R.E.A.D Forward program, students are expected to:
1. Improve significantly in reading comprehension, as demonstrated
by higher scores on post-assessments.
2. Build and retain a broader vocabulary, applying new words in
their reading and writing.
3. Increase reading fluency with greater accuracy, speed, and
expression.
4. Develop critical thinking skills that allow them to engage deeply
with texts.
5. Cultivate a more positive attitude toward reading and become
more confident in academic discussions.

Program Structure and Methodology

1. Diagnostic Assessment (Week 1)

A pre-assessment will be administered to all students to identify their


reading levels and challenges. The diagnostic tools will include:

 Cloze Test: To measure vocabulary knowledge and reading fluency.


 Reading Comprehension Test: Includes multiple-choice and
short-answer questions on narrative and informational texts to
evaluate comprehension.

 Vocabulary Knowledge: A test of students’ ability to understand


and apply academic vocabulary.

 Teacher Observations: Teachers will complete reading logs to


track students’ reading behaviors (e.g., fluency, engagement,
comprehension).

Based on the results, students will be placed into tiered instructional


groups: Tier 1 (whole class), Tier 2 (small groups), and Tier 3 (individual
interventions).

2. Tiered Instruction

Tier 1: General Classroom Instruction (Whole Class)

 Content Focus: Whole-class lessons will focus on developing a


shared understanding of reading strategies, such as identifying
main ideas, summarizing, and making inferences. Materials will
include short stories, news articles, and excerpts from novels.
 Activities:

o Interactive Reading: Teachers will read aloud and engage


students in discussions to model comprehension strategies.

o Group Discussions: Students will discuss texts in groups,


practicing skills like summarizing and questioning.

o Think-Pair-Share: Students will think individually, discuss


their thoughts with a peer, and then share with the class.

Tier 2: Targeted Small Group Instruction

 Focus Areas: This tier will target specific areas where students are
struggling, such as comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. Small
group instruction will cater to students with similar needs and will
allow for more focused attention.
 Group Composition: Groups will be no larger than 5-6 students to
ensure targeted support.

 Activities:

o Guided Reading: Teachers will use leveled texts that match


students’ current abilities, guiding them through reading and
questioning.

o Vocabulary Development: Each week, students will receive


a list of 10-15 new vocabulary words based on the texts they
are reading. They will create Vocabulary Journals, complete
with definitions, synonyms, and example sentences.

o Repeated Readings: To build fluency, students will read the


same passage several times, practicing expression, accuracy,
and speed.

Tier 3: Intensive One-on-One Instruction

 Focus Areas: This tier is designed for students who need the most
intensive support. Instruction will be highly individualized and
personalized based on student needs as identified in the diagnostic
assessments.
 Activities:

o Phonemic Awareness & Phonics: For students struggling


with basic decoding skills, we will use phonics programs and
activities to improve their ability to sound out words.

o Fluency Building: One-on-one reading sessions will involve


repeated readings of familiar passages to increase speed and
accuracy.

o Comprehension Checks: After reading, students will answer


comprehension questions that test their understanding of the
text at a deeper level.

3. Digital Learning Tools

Technology will be integrated into the program to supplement instruction


and provide students with personalized reading experiences.

 Digital Platforms: Students will use ReadTheory, Epic!, and


Newsela to access leveled reading materials, track their progress,
and participate in quizzes that assess comprehension.
 Audiobooks: Audiobook versions of texts will be available for
students who benefit from hearing the material read aloud, allowing
them to follow along and practice pronunciation.

 Interactive Vocabulary Tools: Tools like Quizlet will be used to


create digital flashcards and word games to reinforce vocabulary.

4. Reading Fluency and Vocabulary Development

 Weekly Vocabulary Lists: Each week, students will be introduced


to a set of academic vocabulary words drawn from the texts they
are reading. They will practice using these words in various contexts
through activities such as:
o Word Maps: Students will create word maps that include
definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and contextual sentences.

o Contextual Reading: Vocabulary words will be studied in the


context of the reading material, helping students understand
their meanings through application.

 Fluency Practice:

o Timed Readings: Students will participate in timed reading


exercises to improve reading speed and expression. They will
track their progress over time, aiming for improvement in both
accuracy and fluency.

o Read-Aloud Sessions: Teachers will hold read-aloud


sessions where students can practice reading with expression
and fluency in a supportive environment.

5. Reading Comprehension Strategies

 Guided Reading: Using graphic organizers like story maps, Venn


diagrams, and KWL (Know, Want to know, Learned) charts, students
will learn how to break down complex texts into digestible parts and
make connections.
 Questioning Strategies: Students will be taught how to ask both
literal and inferential questions, fostering deeper engagement
with the text.

 Summarization: After reading, students will summarize the main


ideas and key details to ensure comprehension and retention.
Curriculum and Instructional Development Component

1. Modified DLLs on each of the domains of literacy per key stage,


used by the teachers during school heads’ supervision of
instruction

2. Copies of formative and performance-based assessments used


by teachers during the teaching of the literacy domains

Program Evaluation and Feedback

 Formative Assessments: These will be conducted weekly or bi-


weekly to track student progress in reading fluency, comprehension,
and vocabulary.
 Summative Assessment: After six months, a post-assessment will
be administered to evaluate overall student progress and determine
if the program objectives have been met.

Feedback for Improvement: Both students and parents will


receive feedback on their child’s progress. Teachers will also
reflect on the program’s effectiveness and make adjustments
for future iterations

Expected Final Outcomes/Success Indicators:


By the end of the READ Forward program, students are expected to:

 Improve significantly in reading comprehension, as demonstrated by


higher scores on post-assessments.
 Build and retain a broader vocabulary, applying new words in their
reading and writing.
 Increase reading fluency, reading with greater accuracy, speed, and
expression.
 Develop critical thinking skills that allow them to engage deeply
with texts.
 Cultivate a more positive attitude toward reading and become more
