INTERVENTIONS DONE TO IMPROVE READING DIFFICULTIES

OF THE IDENTIFIED SLOW AND NON-READER PUPILS
SY 2018-2019

Reading is essential for a child’s success. All too often, the barriers faced by children with
difficulty reading outweigh their desire to read and, without proper guidance, they never overcome
them.
Learning to read will make children appreciate any reading materials and to appreciate as well
the beauty of the world through reading and this will give them the opportunity to share their ideas and
give meaning to what they read.
Indeed, according to many experts, decoding problems are the root of most reading disabilities.
Therefore teachers must select effective interventions to address such problem.
As indicated in the Action Plan to Improve Pupils’ Reading Performance, the following
interventions were applied to the identified slow and non-reader pupils:

1. Provision of feeding program – experts believed that malnourishment greatly affects the
mental growth and learning of a child.
2. Conduct of Pre-test in reading – result of the pre-test in able the teachers to determine
appropriate remediation.
3. Intensive Remedial Instruction – non-readers were taught beginning reading and the slow
readers were given various phonemic drill for fluency.
4. Big Brother and Sister Scheme/ Each One, Teach One Method – fast learners taught/guided
slow readers how to read during their free time/remedial period.
5. No Read, No Pass Policy – this program was strictly implemented to make pupils aware that
they will not be promoted to the next grade if they could not read.
6. Project DEAR – pupils were given few minutes to read.
7. Project LONGER(Let One Nurture Good and Excellent Reader) – conducted a social hour
every last Friday of the month. It is done through oral communication contest, recitation,
quiz bee, English Trivia, Spelling Contest, Jingle Making,etc., and rewards were given to the
pupils so that they would be inspired to improve their reading ability.

INTERVENTIONS TO ADDRESS NON-NUMERATES

SY 2018-2019

Mathematics is a highly ordered learning area in the curriculum that would let Mathematics
teachers play a vital role in establishing suitable environment to explore Mathematical competencies in
a developmentally appropriate practices.
The result of the Numeracy Test is alarming. The results imply that teachers must do something
to address the pupils’ difficulty of the subject. Therefore, as transmitter of learning,the following
interventions were done to improve pupils’ performance in Mathematics:

1. Conducted remedial instructions focusing on the least learned skills.

2. Adopted the Peer teaching approach.
3. Provided differentiated activities to cater the individual differences of the pupils, their interests,
strengths and needs.
4. Competencies were broken down to ensure mastery of the lesson.
5. Flashcards/ drill cards were utilized to develop the Four Fundamental Operations.
6. Provided appropriate teaching strategies in developing the concepts of the 4 fundamental
operations.
7. Activated prior knowledge before presenting new concepts.
8. Provided learning stations to enhance pupils learning and interests.
9. Enhanced teachers’ strategies in teaching the subjects through the conduct of SLAC.
10. Informed the parents during quarterly meeting the progress of their children and discussed
ways and means to address the difficulties met by their children.

As per observation and from the results of the Numeracy Posttest, number of numerates
decrease by using the designed interventions.
