ll. Project Rationale and Objectives

Literacy among learners is one of the major concerns in Philippine Education especially after the

school lockdowns for more than two years. UNICEF’s report published recently revealed that two out of

five children cannot understand a simple reading text. Thus, poor reading skills among learners is linked

to long educational disruption caused by school closures during the pandemic.

Reading as part of literacy is vital as this is one of the best ways to acquire necessary information

when learning. Improvement and sustaining learners’ reading skills especially after lockdowns must be

highly encouraged to continuously improve and increase literacy among learners.

Reading has always been a banner project in most schools in the Philippines to increase literacy

among students. A reading program called, Hamon: Bawat Bata Bumabasa 3Bs Initiative, aims to

increase the reading competencies of every learner in all schools in the Philippines during and after the

pandemic. Despite the initiatives implemented by the Department of Education, recent studies still

revealed that Filipino learners are considered poor readers.

One of the causes linked to poor reading competencies of learners, is the school lockdowns due to

COVID-19 pandemic. This is an alarming phenomena in Philippine education and must be addressed

promptly as learners may not be able to comprehend their lessons due to their lack of reading

competencies. In addition, a learner who can read with comprehension has a lot of advantage when it

comes to learning new ideas. Hence, one can study and understand a lesson independently if he/she can

read.

In this premise, the language department from Kaylaway National High School, in support to the

program, Hamon: Bawat Bata Bumabasa 3Bs Initiative, propose to launch the project entitled SPEAR or

“Sustainable Practice of Enhanced and Academic Reading”. This project envisions every learner in

KNHS to become a competent academic readers.

III. Project Description

SPEAR or “Sustainable Practice of Enhanced and Academic Reading” is an activity that

supports DepEd’s Hamon: Bawat Bata Bumabasa 3B Initiatives. This program envisions every learner in

Kaylaway National High School to practice, enhance and improve their academic reading in the

classroom towards literacy. Filipino and English teachers will be the sole implementer of the program

which will be supported by all subject teachers to sustain and practice leaners’ reading competencies

during class.

Moreover, teachers, students and other stakeholders will also take part in the said project.

Quarterly reading progress monitoring and evaluation report must be submitted by both Filipino and

English teachers. Reading materials shall supplement learners’ needs and levels, while various reading

activities shall be provided as means of evaluation.

Book donations will also be part of the program. Stakeholders may donate books and other

reading materials that will be beneficial for students reading literacy.
