Reading is a complex process that involves sensation, perception, comprehension, application and

integration. It is the process of making and getting meaning from printed words and symbols. It is a
means of communication, sending and receiving information and ideas.

The Misamis Oriental National High School conducted the Pre-Reading Comprehension Proficiency Level
in English through reading, to see how the students are coping up with the new normal setting and
assess their reading ability amidst the pandemic.

The teachers, the school reading coordinator, headed by the school principal of Misamis Oriental
National High School, Sir Pedro R. Estaño Jr.,Ph.D. administered screening test, reading test and
comprehension test to assess the reading skills of the students. The result shows that students during
the modular and blended learning haven’t much practice reading and they are subject to reading
enhancements.

To enhance the students’ reading skills, the Misamis Oriental National High School implemented the
Brigada Pagbasa ’22 with the support of internal and external stakeholders, aiming for one goal.

Brigada Pagbasa 2022 is an after-school reading program in response to the Hamon: Bawat Bata
Bumabasa, Project CNR, Power V200, and Mis.Or. Reading Carousel. It is headed by all the leading
forerunners of Education Quality Assurance Agencies.

This advocacy is created for the reason of improving the vocabulary of the students and develop
comprehensive reading and critical thinking skills. A platform to synergize education—related endeavors
that immediately address literacy and numeracy learning gaps.

In line with the goals, Pre-implementation activities were made. The LAC Session for the School Reading
Program, Launching or Brigada Pagbasa 2022, Barangay Mapping and Student’s Profiling, Signing of the
Commitment Wall.

To reinforce the advocacy, campaigns and resource mobilization were made. Generation of resources
for School, Information Dissemination and announcements through Bay Radio, Way Kurat Fm,
distribution of newsletters, and to unify the force of the internal and external stakeholders, there was a
conference for the teaching, non-teaching personnel, parents and other stakeholders. The Local
Government Unit also supports the Brigada Pagbasa 2022 through financial help and strict
implementation of CoVid-19 Health Protocols and Safety Measures. The teachers were the ones who
produced the materials used for the reading program.

The Misamis Oriental National High School helped the parents and students in building power
vocabularies through the implementation of BE MORE: POWER V200, Summer Reading Camp, Barangay
Reading (Carousel), EOSY 2022, construction of Parent’s Reading Park, Reading Clinic, School Library,
