The ability to read and write proficiently is crucial for academic success and
effective communication in both personal and professional contexts. However, some
students face challenges in developing these essential literacy skills, requiring
targeted interventions to bridge the gaps in their proficiency. This action research
focuses on a specific group of students known as the "Selected PSLIS Students" that
have been identified struggling in reading and writing. These students may face
various obstacles such as learning disabilities, limited language exposure, or
inadequate instruction. According to Smith (2018), targeted interventions are essential
for improving the literacy skills of struggling students.
The purpose of this action research is to address the specific needs of the
Selected PSLIS students and enhance their reading and writing skills. By targeting their
unique challenges and providing tailored interventions, the aim is to significantly
improve their literacy proficiency. Additionally, this research seeks to contribute to the
broader field of literacy education by investigating the effectiveness of specific
interventions for enhancing reading and writing skills. The findings of this study can
inform educators and researchers in designing evidence-based strategies to support
struggling readers and writers, ultimately contributing to best practices in addressing
diverse student needs.

The primary aim of this study is to identify effective strategies for enhancing the
literacy proficiency of selected PSLIS students, specifically focusing on their reading
and writing skills.
1. What is the current level of reading and writing proficiency among the selected PSL
students?
In the course of this research initiative, the active involvement of Grade 7 and
Grade 8 students enrolled at Paaralang Sekundarya ng Lucban Integrated School
(PSLIS) is sought. The primary objective is to achieve a comprehensive sample size of
three hundred (300) students, employing a systematic random sampling procedure.
For eligibility, participants must be currently enrolled in PSLIS, actively participating in
English subject coursework, and specifically situated within the Grade 7 and 8
academic levels. This approach ensures a targeted and representative selection of
students for the study, contributing to the robustness and relevance of the research
findings.
The data collected for the action research investigation on "Enhancing Literacy
Proficiency among Selected Students of Paaralang Sekundarya ng Lucban
Integrated School will be analyzed using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating
both qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative analysis will involve statistical
measures such as descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation) to
quantify the extent of literacy improvement among the selected students. This can be
achieved through pre- and post-intervention assessments, allowing for the
measurement of numerical changes in literacy scores. This includes administering
standardized reading and comprehension tests, reading logs and journals, and
formative assessments. While qualitative analysis will involve the in-depth examination
of factors contributing to literacy enhancement. This includes thematic analysis of
