I. INTRODUCTION

ILONGBUKID NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: ITS BEGINNING…

Beyond the long and winding road and beautiful mountain ranges of Baclayan, Aripdip,

San Rafael, Iloilo, situated a progressive barangay of Ilongbukid. Amidst its hills proudly

stands a newly established National High School, committed to deliver quality basic

education to every San Rafaeleños- the Ilongbukid National High School.

The school was established thru R.A. 8877, last August 22, 2000 thru the efforts of

congressman Rolex T. Suplico, Congressman of the 5 th District of Iloilo. The school has

four catchment areas namely: Barangay San Florentino and Barangay Ilongbukid.

A temporary five-room building was constructed in a 1.5 hectare school site purchased by

the local government unit (LGU) thru a resolution passed by the Sangguniang Bayan

headed by Hon. Glenn D. Dieron, Vice Mayor of the Municipality and with the approval of

our beloved Mayor Ronnie P. Balasico.

school started to operate with only two (2) curriculum year levels, having three regular

teachers in the person of Mrs. Pinky Abocion, Ms. Marijoy Arante, Ms. Christine Joy

Andong and one Teacher-in-Charge, Mrs. Norma B. Dieron.

In its third year of operation, the school had played a vital and dynamic roles in the

development of educational, socio and economic growth of the community. The annual

increased in enrolment poses a great challenge to the school, that is, to improve quality

secondary education to the young San Rafaeleños and its neighboring towns.

literacy among the recipients.

Project BUILD aims to intensify remedial reading implementation and enhance

learner’s comprehension skills, spelling and vocabulary proficiency. Developing

interactive approach in improving literacy is a must. This will be realized through the

collective effort of the language teachers spearheaded by the school head in

cooperation of parents and active stakeholders. Anchored by the DepEd’s goals to

on material that has not been mastered. It is is expected to help students who have a

problem in learning. In addition, remediation carried out in order to help students

improve in part or whole learning difficulties faced by the students so as to achieve the

expected results in accordance with its capabilities. Remedial teaching has stages in

any implementation those procedures are: corrective teaching: divided the content into

smaller unit or steps, supervise study sessions, individualized tutoring, re-teach lesson.

The teacher conducts remedial teaching in accordance with student learning

difficulties. The instruction include: teach the teaching learning material back into the

IV. RECOMMENDATION

After doing investigation of this research in the field and analyzing the

collected the data. Researcher wants to give suggestion at this point. Firstly, the

teacher is expected to carry out all the stages in remedial reading because by doing

all the stages there will be easier for teachers to guide students in the learning

process.

Secondly, related research findings the researcher suggests, the teacher

further develop teaching methods in teaching remedial reading. As well as giving the

task when the teacher gives the same exam. Teachers use the various techniques such

as physical and interactive activities. Teachers are expected to use a different matter

but still about the same material. It is recommended to employ strategies and

activities that are appropriate to the reading level of learners.
