ACTION RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL

Project Title: I CARE Project

(Integrating Comprehension Activity for Reading Enhancement)

Proponent: Ma. Russel Yulo. Tualla

Project Location: tambongan Elementary School

Proposed Date January 19,2024

I. Rationale

English is the medium of instruction in all of the subjects in high school,

thus, comprehension is a vital tool in processing the bulk and complexities
of knowledge, information, and skills in various learning activities that
endeavours the learners’ progress.

It has been noted that in the last school years the prevalent concern among
English teachers and other subject teachers who use English language as a medium
of instruction, is poor comprehension.

The Elementary teachers had conducted a series of assessment to ascertain

if students’ comprehension level suit to their grade level based on the results had
been found out t have low reading levels.

Public schools have conducted a Reading Remediation Program in their

respective schools to answer such reading deficiency but because of some
constraints, like time and materials, it had not yield satisfactory results among
remediation students.

Since reading comprehension is indispensable tool in learning and

understanding other subjects, therefore intervention must be provided to enhance
reading comprehension among secondary students.

Also, with the implementation of the DEAR( Drop Everything And Read) with
an aim to produce graduates that are globally competitive, enhancing reading
comprehension is a must, so this Action Research was conceptualized.

II. Project Objective

This Action Research has the following specific objectives:

1. Enhance the reading ability of the students;

2. Develop among students the importance of reading and its benefits;
3. Increase students’ participation.
4. Increase comprehension level among student-respondents;
5. Ease of lesson delivery among subject teachers, and;
6. Increase student’s performance.

III. Project Description

This Action Research will be conducted by the proponent among the 21 Grade
5-Liempo students as the researcher’s English 5 subject. Assessment Tool will be
used in determining the respondents grade level in areas of word recognition and
reading comprehension.

This research will be conducted similar to the conduct of the regular

reading remediation activity but since the respondents are already in high school,
the activity will focus more on reading comprehension, therefore, reading
selection will be used.

The effectivity of this research will be determined by comparing the means

of the pre-test and post-test in areas of both the reading comprehension and
word recognition.

IV. Project Outcome

As the specific objectives of this research, its outcome will be beneficial

among the student-respondents by increasing their comprehension level through
decoding meaning and by using short selections that could capture their
attention. It is therefore, projected that there will be positive result in students’
participation in other subject areas, since they are likely to be motivated to
participate in the class lectures and activities since most of the subjects uses
English as the medium of instruction.

V. Methodology

PHIL IRI Reading Materials will be used to assess the reading

comprehension level of Grade 5 students before and after the implementation of
the I CARE Project. Students will be subjected to a pre-test and they will be
classified if they are frustration, instructional or independent readers

The researcher will select five (5) reading selections of not more than two
(2) paragraphs and will construct three (3) - five (5) comprehension questions for
every selection.

Five (5) to ten (10) minutes prior to the presentation of the lesson proper
during the English class will be allotted for oral reading of the selection and the
answering of the comprehension questions. The researcher will read/facilitate in
the reading of the selections before the lesson proper.

Scores will be recorded to ascertain the trend of the students

comprehension level.

The Post-test will then be conducted in December after the 10-week

implementation of the I CARE Project.

Simple statistics, the mean, will be used to identify the average

comprehension level of the subjects before and after the implementation of the I
CARE Project. The difference will be computed by only subtracting the pre-test
mean of subjects to their mean post-test result.
