The result of students’ assessment in reading and
comprehension is quite alarming nowadays.
Research says that Filipino students cannot
comprehend what they read, even when they
spend long hours in school. Thus, the Institute of
Education and Teacher Training initiated the
workshop and urged the professional and pre-
service teachers to be one of the personnel in
helping hand by hand to solve this terrifying
reality.

THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION

A day before the workshop happened, the

Bachelor of Elementary Education—Generalist
students had a vigorous time preparing for the
event entitled Capability Building Among Pagbasa
+ Tutors: A Pre-Reading Intervention Workshop.
This was headed by the ever-dynamic, active, and
gorgeous adviser of the Society of Elementary
Education, Dr. Helina Jean P. Dupa. 

This is a whole-day workshop from 8:00 in the

morning to 5:00 in the afternoon. The registration
was started at about 8 a.m. on October 22, 2022,
and was organized by the secretariat. 

The program formally began with the multimedia

prayer and was followed by the Philippine national
anthem. To start with, Ms. Joanna Marie
Escalante-the master of the ceremony who never
failed to ignite the crowd gave the floor to Dr.
Gemma M. Galvez, the dean of Institute of

Education and Teacher Training for her opening

remarks. Dr. Galvez expresses her warmest
welcome and gratitude to all participants from
Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and
Bachelor of Elementary Education students most
especially to the guest speaker and to the
teachers of L Tamay Elementary School. (kulang-
need auidio).

The guest speaker of this event was introduced by

Ms. Asmera Pacio. Dr. Gina G. Silvestre is the
Education Program Supervisor- English in the
schools division of the City of Mati Department of
Education. She started her training by asserting
her heartfelt thank you to the IETT dean, Dr.
Gemma Galvez, to Dr. Helina Jean P. Dupa, and
to all who participated. Before she proceeds to the
training, she quoted that “Work attitude matters in
education, we don’t care about how intelligent you
are as long as you are teachable” this only implies
that a teacher should be a good role model to his
learners in all aspect that carry himself the way he
is expected to.

For the morning session, Dr. Silvestre discussed

the topic 1 which is the Philippine Informal
Reading Inventory or commonly known as Phil-
IRI. An assessment tool in reading. It is anchored
on the flagship program of the Department of
Education: “Every Child A Reader Program,”
which aims to make every Filipino child a reader
and a writer at his/her grade level.

During the training, each participant was being

challenged their capabilities in reading that
resulted to some miscues. Dr. Silvestre even
pointed out that reading is not only for English
teachers but for all teachers. She also added that
the reason why Philippines failed to attain the
highest score in PISA is because we failed to
improve the proficiency of learners in reading.
This is the sad reality that many children are
considered as nonreaders even in standard level.
Thus, the department of education implemented a
DEPEd Memorandum No. 173, s. 2019 of
November 22, 2019 also known as “Hamon:
Bawat Bata Bumabasa” (3Bs Initiative). This

DEPEd memorandum aims to produce a

productive and responsible citizens equipped with
essential competencies and skills for lifelong
learning.

Aside from imparting knowledge, Dr. Silvestre

provided a speed-reading activity for the people
who attended the workshop. For the last venture
in morning session, all participants are
encouraged to answer the assessment and was
checked afterwards.

Ms. Joanna Marie Escalante formally started the

afternoon session by introducing Dr. Gina G.
Silvestre as a guest speaker again. This session
was all about Early Grades Reading Assessment
or EGRA, a diagnostic assessment designed to
assess the foundation skills for literacy
acquisition. EGRA started in grades 1 and 2 since
the ability to understand simple text is one of the
fundamental skills a child can learn. It was being
emphasized that EGRA and EGRA-based
Assessment is can be used to identify learners’
needs, intervene and monitor student learning and
student progress. According to Dr. Silvestre,
students who struggle in reading are more likely to
drop out. That is the reason why teachers are
asked to report the students who are at risk of
failing and submit interventions. She even
motivates everyone to allow students read orally
and added that our tongue will be harden if we will
not read orally. Hence, she punctuated a teacher
should teach explicitly in order to increase both
oral and print knowledge of words. Dr. Silvestre
ended her training with a great reminder that will
motivate both professional and pre-service
teacher to work more to improve the quality of
learning and help students who are in need.

“Remember that your existence in school is

for the improvement of the humanity.
Remember also the souls inside your
classroom.”

The crowd was cheering because of the

intermission number of a 3 rd year BEED-generalist
student. This only shows that students in DORSU

are talented whether it is in dancing or singing.

The awarding of certificate was headed by the
IETT dean, program head of BEED and Dr. Helina
Jean P. Dupa as well. Sir Robie V. Catubigan
gave his sincerest gratitude to the resource
speaker for sharing her expertise in reading
intervention program, to Dr. Gemma M. Valdez,
Dr. Helina Jean Dupa, and to all who participated.
He also pointed out the essence of the activity
most especially to pre-service teachers in
identifying the reading problem of students and
finding its best solution to address the issues.
Afterwards, picture taking were done among all
delegates and participants.

The whole day program Capability Building

Among Pagbasa + Tutors: A Pre-Reading
Intervention Workshop has come to an end and
