Context and Rationale
Reading fluency refers to the ability to read at the right pace, with accuracy,
and expression. For both children and adults, being able to read fluently is essential
for understanding what they're reading, whether silently or aloud (Paige, 2020 ).
When people are learning to read, they need to realize that some of the signals in
written words don't match the way we speak, especially when it comes to how we
emphasize words. To become a fluent reader, they need to rely more on the way
words are built and how sentences are put together. Methods like repeated readings
help because they help readers figure out how sentences are structured in written
language. The key is for beginners to realize that they have to use different
strategies than just following the rhythm of spoken language to read and understand
correctly.
In this context, Sarah Van Erp's 2021 study provides a ray of hope. Her
research demonstrated that implementing the practice of repeated reading led to
substantial improvements in oral reading fluency rates, with students experiencing
increases ranging from 38% to 225%, depending on the individual. Notably, students
who initially read at a rate of 7 to 50 words per minute progressed to reading 19 to
69 words per minute by the study's conclusion. These findings underscore the
potential effectiveness of repeated reading as a strategy to address the pressing
issue of low reading proficiency among Filipino students.
Hence, this action research project not only addresses the pressing issue of
low literacy levels but also represents a proactive step towards creating a more
promising educational future for these resilient young students. By identifying
struggling readers and implementing targeted interventions, we aim to equip them
with the essential reading skills necessary for their academic success, bridging the
gap created by the challenges posed by the pandemic and fostering a brighter
educational outlook for these learners.
Action Research Questions
This study aims to make an action plan for the enhancement of reading
fluency of Grade 5 learners in Panalsalan Elementary School.
The following are the suggested measures to acquaint learners with the
practice of repeated reading:
Text Selection
The educator will select texts that align with the learners' reading abilities. She
will choose materials that are both engaging and slightly challenging, striking a
balance that will allow students to focus on improving their reading fluency without
becoming overwhelmed by comprehension difficulties. It will be essential to opt for
texts with clear language and terms that learners can readily understand, promoting
their immersion in the text and boosting their enthusiasm for repeated readings.
When selecting a text, the educator will aim for one that matches the students'
current reading skills while gently encouraging them to explore the boundaries of
their competence. This approach will provide valuable support for learners as they
embark on new learning experiences. A carefully chosen text will enable students to
practice and apply the knowledge and skills they already possess while facilitating
the integration of new learning experiences.
Arranging students into groups based on their fluency levels can significantly
impact their fluency development. This educational approach serves a dual purpose:
it helps alleviate the influence of peer pressure and creates an ideal learning
atmosphere.
This research work will encompass the active participation of 35 learners who are
currently in the fifth grade at Panalsalan Elementary School. The individuals that will
be selected for this study will be those who have successfully completed their
educational journey from the commencement of kindergarten, progressing through
each subsequent grade up to and including grade four.
B. Research Design
Ask for permission: Following the completion of the questionnaire, the educator
will approach their individual teacher for permission. When the teacher say that the
questionnaire must be changed since it is unrelated to the subject, the educator will
replace it with another.
Distribution: After the teacher will give his approval, dissemination of the survey
questionnaires will be done. The educator will accept the person's decision when
they decline to fill out the questionnaire.
Analysis of Data: When examining the data, the researcher will determine how
each responder views the subject, and their individual responses will be compared
and calculated.
D. Data Analysis
Descriptive analysis will be used to analyze the data. Descriptive analysis will be
employed to analyze data, namely mean, frequency, and percentage, to determine
the effectiveness of repeated reading to reading fluency of learners.
