CARE FOR NON-READERS NARRATIVE REPORT

School Year 2020-2021

I. INTRODUCTION

Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of letters,

symbols, etc., especially by sight or touch. It is a multifaceted process that
develops only with practice. There are aspects of reading that can be learned
in a few years in schools or through experiences (fluency and word
recognition). These basic reading aspects must be mastered but at the same
time reading comprehension should be emphasized. Nowadays, there are still
a few that doesn’t even recognize letters and its sounds. The basic and first
thing a student should learn for him/her to read.
The ability to read is the key of knowledge: it is the key to knowing the
world around us and ourselves. Without it, life can be nearly impossible
(Department of Education, 2013).
Care for Non-Readers (CNR) is the program the DepEd implemented to
continuously fulfill its mandate to produce productive and responsible
citizens that are equipped with essential competencies and skills for lifelong
learning. It aims to make every learner a proficient reader and to achieve a
zero-school non-reading students.
