TEACHERS' STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME STUDENTS' DIFFICULTIES ON LITERACY

IN ALL GRADE LEVELS OF ACAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

INTRODUCTION
Literacy is an essential aspect of education that plays a crucial role in a student's academic
success. However, students may face various difficulties while acquiring literacy skills,
which can significantly impact their academic performance. Teachers play a pivotal role in
helping students overcome such difficulties and develop their literacy skills.

The present study focuses on identifying the strategies used by teachers to overcome
students' difficulties in literacy across all grade levels of ACAL Elementary School. The study
aims to explore the different approaches adopted by teachers to support struggling readers
and writers and help them achieve literacy proficiency.

The study will employ qualitative research methods, including interviews and observations,
to gather data from teachers in different grade levels. The study's findings are expected to
provide valuable insights into the different teaching strategies that can be used to support
students struggling with literacy, regardless of their grade level. These findings may help
inform instructional practices that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of students at
ACAL Elementary School and other schools with similar student populations.

Theoretical framework
The present study is a qualitative research project that will utilize semi-
structured interviews and classroom observations to gather data. The
research will take place in ACAL Elementary School, and the participants will
be teachers across all grade levels who have experience in teaching literacy
skills to students.

The study will employ purposive sampling to select participants who have
experience in teaching literacy skills to struggling students. Data collection will
involve conducting semi-structured interviews with the participants to gain
insights into their strategies for overcoming students' literacy difficulties.
Classroom observations will also be conducted to observe the implementation
of these strategies in a real classroom setting.

The data collected from the interviews and classroom observations will be
analyzed using thematic analysis. This analysis will involve identifying
patterns, themes, and commonalities in the teachers' strategies for
overcoming students' literacy difficulties. The triangulation of data sources
will be used to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings.

The study's ethical considerations will involve obtaining informed consent

from the participants and ensuring the confidentiality and anonymity of the
data collected. The data collected will be kept secure and destroyed after the
study's completion.

Overall, the methodological framework of the study involves the use of

qualitative research methods to explore the strategies that teachers use to
overcome students' literacy difficulties in ACAL Elementary School. The study's
findings may inform instructional practices and professional development
programs that support teachers in helping struggling readers and writers
achieve literacy proficiency

HYPOTHESIS
 The hypothesis for this study is that teachers at
ACAL Elementary School use a variety of
strategies to overcome students' literacy
difficulties, and these strategies are effective in
improving students' literacy skills. It is expected
that the study's findings will provide insights into
the specific strategies that are most effective in
supporting struggling readers and writers across
all grade levels.
It is also hypothesized that differentiated
instruction will be a common strategy used by
teachers to tailor their instruction to meet the
diverse needs of their students. The study may
reveal additional strategies that are effective in
supporting struggling readers and writers, such as
explicit instruction, modeling, and providing
feedback

Scope And Delimitation The Study

 This study focuses on identifying the
strategies used by teachers to help
students overcome difficulties in literacy.
The study is limited to teachers and
students of Acal Elementary School, and
all grade levels are included in the study.
The study will cover various literacy
difficulties, including reading, writing, and
comprehension. It will also explore the
different teaching strategies employed by
teachers to address these difficulties.
However, this study has its limitations.
Firstly, the study is limited to one
elementary school only, which may affect
the generalizability of the findings.
Secondly, the study will only focus on the
 perspectives of teachers and may not
necessarily include the experiences of the
students. Lastly, the study will not address
the impact of external factors such as
home environment, socio-economic status,
and learning disabilities on literacy
difficulties.
