LEVELS OF RADING PERFORMANCE OF THE RESPONENTS

Specifically out of all small grade pupil, majority of the respondents were on the non – reader level
and frustration level. This implies that many of the respondents were having problems in reading or
experiencing difficult in learning to read.

Awareness as Pupil's Perspective:

Respondents have difficulty in reading and learning how to read in terms of honological and
Phonemic Awareness. Their own perspective was supported by teacher's perspective. This implies
that the respondents have difficulty in rhyming words, recognizing and producing sounds and
syllabication.

Reading Difficulty in Terms of Vocabulary

Reading difficulty in terms of vocabulary is one of the reasons for reading difficulty experience by the
respondents which from the pupil's perspective. This result was supported by the teacher's
perspective. This denotes that the respondents have difficulty in understanding words to
communicate effectively. This implies that the pupils had a hard time to find the words that they
need to know to understand what they read. This also implies that a reader cannot understand a
text without knowing what most of the words mean.

Reading Difficulty in Terms of Fluency

Fluency is one of the reading difficulties that the respondents experience in learning how to read.
The pupil's perspective also relates with that of the teacher's perspective. This implies that pupil
respondents have difficulty to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. They were not
confident in reading aloud or silently do not read smoothly and has no proper expression.

Reading Difficulty in Terms of Comprehension

Comprehension is one of the major reasons for reading difficulties the respondents experience in
learning how to read. This result from the pupil's perspective was supported by the teacher's
perspective. This implies that pupil respondents have difficulty in understanding and interpretation
of what is read. They find it hard to decode what they read,had a hard time to make connections
etween what they read and what they already know, and have difficulty to think deeply about what
they have read. This also mean that they do not have a sufficient vocabulary, or their knowing of the
meanings of words is not enough.

Develop a plan to address the problem

This action research was designed to improve students' speaking proficiency using cooperative
storytelling strategy. The results of this research was expected to be useful for the English teacher of
Kamal Model Senior Secondary School especially in teaching speaking teacher could manage
classroom activities communicatively by using cooperative storytelling strategy. For students
themselves, it could motivate them to try to speak English as often as possible, so that they could
improve their ability in speaking skill.

SOLUTIONS

The following are the solutions to reading difficulties that the pupil respondents experience in
reading.
STAR Collection

As an intervention program, a child will bring home a copy of a reading selection/story to read at
home. His parents will rate his/her ability to read by putting a Star on the copy of his/her selection.
The teacher will validate the rate of his patents by putting another Star on the copy, thus a child will
be earning Stars depending on his/her reading skill. Reading materials will vary according to different
types of readers (non-readers, frustration level, instructional and independent level).

Reading Buddy

A poor reader will be partnered to a good reader who will serve as his/her reading buddy every
lunch break after meal that will help the student to inhance his/her spoken English and will benefit
the student in future.

Pull Out Approach

Poor readers and non-readers will be pulled out from their class to be tutored/coached by other
reading teacher. Reading related activities may be given by the special reading teacher.

Evaluate the results of action taken

After the implementation of the storytelling technique to develop their proficiency for 4 days, I
conducted the story telling contest to observe their speaking proficiency. The students took part in
the contest and they were able to tell stories that they had heard before. I also administrated post
speaking test to measure their speaking skill. Finally, I analysed the result and found that they
improved their speaking proficiency. After using this technique, I found that my students were
motivated to speaking English in and out of the classroom with their friends. The shy students also
started to speak English in the classroom. I administered pre test and analysed the result of pre-test
as follows:

The result showed that the students scored 57.90% in comprehension, 59% in vocabulary, 52.50% in
grammar, 44.5% in fluency and 45.60% in pronunciation. I found that the students' speaking
proficiency.

Conclusion

After analyzing the result obtained in the post speaking test, I found that it helped for improvement,
I will continue the techniques and I shared this idea with my fellow teachers and my colleagues in
the school. I followed the action plan as in my action research proposal. My aim was to improve the
students' speaking proficiency. As I conducted my research, I found the result as I assumed. The
interventions I applied in my students really increased the participation in the speaking activities.

issues. And the content should be changed as the old one is based on early
situations but now many things have changed, like the way of living, the way of
thinking and reacting, etc. Such content should be added in the chapters that
can help the students deal with current life issues rather than dramatizing
them. Moreover, ook exercises should also be enhanced accordingly

Exercise- to judge
Saying exercises in textbooks sounds like math, chemistry or physics
books. The exercises in a given chapter are there for a reason. Reading
the notes or instructions for a given chapter and not using the exercises
is, in my opinion, not going to help you learn the subject matter. You
need to take a pen/pencil and paper to work out problems until you
learn how to do them step by step. If you study the notes and save the
time by not doing the exercises you're defeating your purpose. They may
take quite a while to work them but that's part of the learning process. It
doesn't matter how much time you take to learn if you want to be
efficient with your course work and pass exams and remember what you
practice on for future use. Hence, exercises are a must for students, so
that they can explore and research for themselves. The given books
includes all the good exercise which students can easily solve for
themselves. Even in some chapters there are hots questions, which are
given to test the intellectual level of students, they are not mandatory,
but helps students to grow their skills.

Suggestions
According to me, the book should also deal with the things happening in
society, it deals with constitution, rules and regulations. But what about
the current issues? Is everyone following those rules or those
constitutional amendments? On daily basis we see happenings around
the world. The things written in the constitution should not be only in
