-Think about the characteristics of a good Leveled Reader session. Which of these did you use in
the lesson? Be specific and give examples.
In my Filipino 2 reading lesson, I used a leveled reader book with a large print appropriate for
their grade level where texts are consistently placed. This helped my pupils to read the text easier
and remember the printed words. As we unlocked some difficult words, we checked the words
by page. I asked them to look for the meaning of the words based on the illustrations in the book.
The pictures gave some help and support for them to understand the words. I wrote the difficult
words on the blackboard with their meaning beside them and the translation of the words in the
mother tongue and in English. As I grouped my pupils during leveled reader session, I asked one
group to read and write some repetitive words or high-frequency words that they found in the
text. As I moved around the class, I looked for some of the struggling readers in my class. As I
come to them, I asked them to read out loud some lines from the story. This allows me to detect
their difficulties in pronouncing some words. I asked my pupils to apply their knowledge of
letter-sound relationships to correctly pronounce the written words. Moreover, I made checked if
they read correctly the punctuations found in the story. I also asked different types of questions
to my pupils for me to check their comprehension skills. After reading, I gave writing prompts
activity to help bring out pupils’ personal connections with the text.
-What was the most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers? How did
you handle it? What might you do differently next time you use Leveled Readers in class?
The most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers is the formation of
the small groups. When I used a heterogeneous grouping, some of my struggling readers rely
mostly on their group mates who are more advance than them. Also, the brighter pupils progress
slower and do not reach their full potential as a result of pairing with the struggling pupils. When
I changed my grouping from heterogeneous to homogeneous grouping, my struggling pupils did
not make much progress. On the third attempt, I set a rule that every one of them needs to
participate and take turns in taking the role of a leader in the activities of the day. I can say that
this made a better result from the first two activities in our reading class. Next time, I will set
more rules in my class to follow which can help us maximize learning time.
-During the lesson, at what points were your pupils most engaged? Why do you think they were
attentive then? Were there times when some or all of your pupils’ attention wandered? Why do
you think they were not attentive? How did you handle it?
My pupils were most engaged during the “before reading activity” which activates pupils’ prior
knowledge and set a purpose for reading. I think they were attentive in this part because it
challenges them to make guesses about the story that they become more interested in reading.
There were times when some of my pupils’ attention wandered when the text they are reading
are too long. Also, they got lost in interest in reading as they encounter words that are new to
them. These words may appear easy to understand to others but to some of my pupils who are
not used to speaking in Filipino or English language, these words might be difficult for them
resulting in a loss of interest in the text. Being aware of this problem, I use to unlock as many
words as possible before we read a story. I also advise my pupils to look for clues from the text
or from the illustrations.
-Looking at your answers above, what two important pieces of advice would you give a teacher
to effectively use Leveled Readers in the classroom? Explain why.
To effectively use Leveled Reader in the classroom, I would advise other fellow educators to set
up classroom rules that the pupils can follow at all times so they to manage their class easier.
Also, I advise them to be resourceful, caring, and patient enough with their learners especially
those who are struggling readers in their class.

1.Think about the characteristics of a good Leveled Reader session. Which of these did you use
in the lesson? Be specific and give examples.
As a teacher, I can say that the characteristics of a good leveled readers are the following:
- Can Interact with the text
- Incorporate goals in reading
- Assess important ideas
- Structure all the text before reading
- Make predictions, construct, revise, and question as they read
- Observe the understanding of what they read
- Process text during and after reading
- Acquire comprehension of text to be productive
- Creating visual images based on text they have read
- Make inferences, synthesize information, and repair understanding.
2. What was the most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers? How
did you handle it? What might you do differently next time you use Leveled Readers in class?
Well in teaching, everything is challenging. But of course as a teacher you have to do your very
best. Indeed it is definitely challenging to group the pupils into smaller groups accordingly
because you as the teacher should prepare differentiated materials for them. So that you can give
the help that they need in order to understand the lesson. You have to know their reading level. It
is a critical part of the Leveled Reader session because this is when differentiation takes place.
3. During the lesson, at what points were your pupils most engaged? Why do you think they
were attentive then? Were there times when some or all of your pupils’ attention wandered? Why
do you think they were not attentive? How did you handle it?
The pupils were most motivated and engaged when they were instructed to read on their own. It
empower them to do their best in reading. With that they can fell freedom and self-directed while
the teacher serves as the facilitator. On their own or with a few peers, they decode the words,
read the sentences, and practice to enhance their reading while teacher roams around to check the
progress of each group or pair.
4. Looking at your answers above, what two important pieces of advice would you give a teacher
When using Leveled Readers, you have to ask more questions about what the other learners have
read, and allow them to read on their own or with groups so that they can learn also on their own.
But of course with the assistance of the teacher. Introducing the vocabulary words is very
important also for better understanding and smooth flow of the reading session.

Think about the characteristics of a good Leveled Reader session. Which of these did you use in
- A good leveled reading session for me is an interactive activity wherein both the teacher and
the learners successfully achieved each goals. A good leveled reader interact with text, have
goals for reading, composed of good questioning techniques, encourage creative thinking skills,
among others.
In my class in grade two, I made it sure that our leveled reading session would be fun and
interactive. I applied good questioning techniques to enhance learners' prediction and
imaginative skills in each level. I unlock difficult words before starting the session. And I group
them according to their reading skills level to give better remediation or assistance to those
struggling readers, as well as challenging higher thinking skills to those good readers.
What was the most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers? How did
- Because of the pandemic, most of my pupils are non-readers. And they find it hard to read even
with the level 1 reader. So I have to focus first on teaching them the basic sounds of the alphabet,
though I applied collaborative learning and peer-tutoring.
During the lesson, at what points were your pupils most engaged? Why do you think they were
- Pupils attention span are normally so short to maintain in a specific session. It is normal for
some of them to get lost and will never mind what is going on.
Learners demonstrated a higher degree of involvement when they could relate to the stories and
when they had prior knowledge of the vocabulary utilized in the stories. They are able to
comprehend it and know how to apply its ideas to the story from their own point of view. Once
they are comfortable with the language and can relate to the topics being discussed, they will pay
attentively. Yes, there were occasions when pupils were daydreaming, but you need to refocus
them and get their attention back on the lesson at hand.
Looking at your answers above, what two important pieces of advice would you give a teacher to
effectively use Leveled Readers in the classroom? Explain why.
- Effective reading assessment should be done first to effectively give appropriate remediation
accordingly.
- Adapt every instruction to their needs. Different lessons don't need to be taught to every child.
While some of them require more practice, others require more coaching.

--- Interact with the text, make predictions, construct and question as they read, monitor their
understanding as they read and read different kinds of text differently.
--The short attention span of a grade 1 pupils. In order to handle it, I motivated them, have some
exercise, songs, dance and rhymes.
--- They are very attentive when they see the colorful pictures in a story and asking what they
can tell about the pictures.
--- Prepare the materials ahead of time and always remember that reading is fun and enjoyable to
learners.

A good Leveled Reader session must used differentiation. this is in terms of grouping the pupils
as well as the kind of reading materials. Proper classroom management is also necessary. The
teacher must be keen in observing the class and prompt enough to correct misread words. The
session must have pre-reading, during reading and post reading activities. Comprehension
questions about the story must be asked during reading.
In my lesson, I used differentiation by grouping my pupils in pairs. I went around and listened
and correct words that were misread and asked questions that were literal, inferential and
evaluative. Classroom management also helped me conduct my session smoothly and not waste
time and manage pupils behavior.
The most challenging aspect of teaching reading using Leveled Reader is engaging the pupils all
through out the session. Time constraint will also one factor we need to consider while having
Leveled Reader session.
I managed to engaged my learners through out the session by considering their interests and
assigned them tasks that are geared towards it. The teacher is the best tool inside the classroom.
So she must be pleasant, creative /interesting and expressive. Next time I will use Leveled
Reader in my grade 1 class, I might try reading the story first especially in my English session.
this will help my pupils to be familiar with the texts and after wards they could read the story
with their partner alternately.
My learners were more engaged during the reading of the story. They were eager to answer
questions as we discussed vocabulary words. Because they are willing to tell their experiences
and even give examples. There were also times that my pupils attention wandered. This
happened because their activity was a little easy for them that they finished way ahead.
Teachers who would want to use Leveled Reader in the classroom must plan the activities before
hand. How to go about the session and the routines they need to follow. Routines should be
taught and established before hand so as not to waste time in giving instructions and to manage
the session smoothly.
It is also important to be keen in observing the pupils as you conduct your Leveled Reader
session. This is to provide support to the pupils by listening and assisting them as they go about
the activity.
These pieces of advice would help the teacher for the conduct of smooth and successful session
as well as to ensure the fluency of the pupils in reading.

- The text are readable, the content is contextualized and localized so pupils can understand the
content of the leveled text. Words are simple and meanings convey with the pictures presented.
Since, mostly are struggling readers time management is needed because it took much time in
guiding the pupils. Also the attention span, they are easily distracted by their classmates. Due to
pandemic, pupils are struggling in writing so writing activity after reading is very challenging
and even frustrating for the teachers. What I did, writing activity was in group, so I make sure
that there is someone who could in the group.
Check the reading and writing ability of the pupils. Make your instruction clear and simple.

1. Think about the characteristics of a good Leveled Reader session. Which of these did you use
* A good leveled reader session should have the following characteristics:
a. Interaction with the text.
b. Have goals for reading.
c. Evaluate text for important ideas.
d. Note structure of text before reading.
e. Make predictions.
f. Construct, revise, and question as they read.
g. Monitor their understanding as they read.
h. Read different kinds of text differently.
* I used the Construct, revise, and question as they read so that my learners may engage with the
text. It helps the reader to clarify what he or she is
reading and to better understand the text.
2. What was the most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers? How
did you handle it? What might you do differently next time you
use Leveled Readers in class?
* Pupils are different from each other. therefore they need individualized feedback.
3. During the lesson, at what points were your pupils most engaged? Why do you think they
were attentive then? Were there times when some or all of your
pupils’ attention wandered? Why do you think they were not attentive? How did you handle it?
* Pupils' were most engaged especially when the story is of their level and experiences. Colored
pictures and precise letter font styles and size add up
their engagement. No times when during leveled reader's session when pupils wandered and not
attentive. Grade 1 pupils always love to read and listen
to stories.
4. Looking at your answers above, what two important pieces of advice would you give a teacher

Explain why.
*Teachers should always consider the group of pupils she is handling. She should always make
the session enjoyable for them.

-Think about the characteristics of a good Leveled Reader session. Which of these did you use in
the lesson? Be specific and give example
*Leveled readers is used to develop the reading skills of learners. It is also used to let the
learners interact with the text. A good readers have goals in reading and they note structure of
text before reading.
In my class. I used to unlock unfamiliar words for the learners to have a better understanding on
what they are reading. This will develop their vocabulary and fluency. It is very important that
they must understand what they are reading which help them a lot to develop and enhance their
comprehension.
-What was the most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers? How did
*The most challenging aspect of teaching reading using the leveled Readers is when you have
struggling readers. While other groups of learners read on their own, you have to guide the
struggling readers from sounding out the letters until the learner can read the words. You have to
point out word by word or even picture to picture. They need more time and guidance of a
teacher to finish reading a story or text. Perhaps, I can use text or story that is familiar to the
learner the next time I will use Leveled Readers so that everybody can read at the same time.
-During the lesson, at what points were your pupils most engaged? Why do you think they were
* During the lesson, pupils/ learners were most engaged on the middle part of the story where
problem arises and gradually resolves as the story goes on.
Yes, some of my pupils’ attention wandered because there are repeated lines in the story that
made them bored during the reading activity. In order for them keep them attentive, they take
turns in reading the text. In that way, they become more attentive and participative.
First, choose interesting topics and characters must be at their age level. Intriguing settings, large
and colorful illustrations are very important to catch the attention of the pupils/learners. In lower
grades, eye catchy illustrations are very important. Their eagerness to know what’s inside and
what is all about make their imagination explore and pay attention to the reader to compare
what’s in their mind and what is really in the story.
Second, group the learners according to their reading skills. This will help you a lot to guide and
give the needed help for those who have difficulty in reading and give an enhancement activity
for the fast readers group.

- There should be an interaction of text and picture. This is used to help the learners
build ,understand and expand their vocabulary words.
- The challenging aspect of teaching reading using the Leveled Readers is the ability to sustain
the learners attention span and interest to the lesson. To address this problem,t eachers should
use their art of questioning before, during and after reading.
- My pupils were most engaged during the reading process where I applied variation of voices,
switching the characters from place to place through the flannel board. There are few pupils
whose attention wandered ,I think because the story I chose is a little longer for their age.I
handled it by calling them to answer question or give their opinions for the circumstance of the
character.
Looking at your answers above, what two important pieces of advice would you give a teacher
-Use varied voice to get their attention
-Ask questions before and after reading
- Choose a story appropriate for their age level.

by Laurence Villarta - Monday, 5 September 2022, 3:59 PM
- Ask the pupils if they have prior knowledge or experience from the story that you will read, we
can also use the process of predicting outcomes so that the learners may able to think what will
likely to happen in the story.
- Grouping the pupils into smaller groups or by pairs is very challenging, the teacher is expected
to know the reading level of each pupil. The pupils should be given the appropriate reading
material, allowed to practice fluency and checked upon for comprehension
-They were most engaged in reading independently. They decode the words, read the sentences
and practice to enhance their reading.
- The teacher must be creative, resourceful and have enough patience in assisting the learner.

- The characteristic of a good Leveled Reader, having a strong desire to read is the one I used in
the lesson. I can use predictions to have my pupils think about/draw different endings or what is
likely to happen in the story being read. Take note of the text's structure before reading and ask
questions. Keep an eye on their comprehension as they read.
- Pupils at a very young age has a short attention span and I think that is the most challenging
aspect in teaching reading. So, in order to remove this obstacle, we must practice questioning
from time to time our pupils for them to be engage in reading. Also try to make our teaching fun,
engaging and interesting for them to enjoy while learning.
- During the lesson, my pupils are most engage when introducing a new story. They were attentive
because you are bringing them new concepts. Yes, there are times that some of my pupils' attention
wandered when there are a lot of talking and talking from teacher it is when the reading is not
interactive anymore.
To effectively use Leveled Readers in the classroom, teachers must be resourceful, organized, and
imaginative at the same time because children/learners nowadays like to explore a lot and the also had
a lot of questions on their minds.
