has no advantage over the man
who cannot read.

Layunin:
 Natatalakay ang kahulugan,
kahalagahan at katangian ng
pagbasa.
Ano ang
pagbasa?
Batay sa International Reading
Association
Ang pagbasa ay pagkuha ng
kahulugan mula sa mga nakatalang
titik o simbolo.

Ayon kay Frank Smith

Ang pagbasa ay pagtatanong sa
nakatalang teksto at pag-unawa sa
teksto ay ang pagkuha ng sagot sa
iyong mga tanong.
Mula naman kay Kenneth Goodman sa Journal of the
Reading Specialist (1967), ang pagbasa ay isang
psycholinguistic guessing game, sapagkat ito ay nagdudulot ng
interaksyon sa pagitan ng wika at pag-iisip: ang kakayahang
manghula, bumuo ng hinuha o prediksyon kaugnay ng tekstong
binabasa.
Ayon kay Coady (1979): “Upang lubusang maintindihan ang
teksto, kailangang maiugnay ng tagabasa ang dating alam sa
kanyang kakayahang bumuo ng mga
konsepto/kasanayan/kaisipan mula sa mga naiprosesong
impormasyon sa binasa.”
Ayon kay G. James Lee Valentine
(2000): “Ang pagbasa ay ang
pinakapagkain ng ating utak.”

Ayon sa Webster’s Dictionary, ang

pagbasa ay isang kilos o gawa ng isang
taong bumabasa ng aklat, sulatin at iba pa.
Ito’y pag-unawa sa kahulugan ng isang
aklat, sulatin at ibang nasusulat na bagay.

A Parent’s Role in Early Literacy Education
 
Think back to your own schooling for a moment - when did
you learn to read?

 Early literacy development begins long before a child

enters the classroom. In fact, parents are the first and most
important teacher in any child’s life. 
Parent Involvement: Early Literacy Begins at Home
Though kids learn to read starting in kindergarten, they develop early literacy
skills in the first five years of their lives, even before they first step foot in the
classroom. During these important formative years, kids develop critical
vocabulary and decoding skills. Activities such as singing songs, storytelling,
and reading nursery rhymes or children’s books grows a child’s vocabulary,
preparing kids for successful reading comprehension when they do eventually
learn to read. 
Further, numerous educational studies have shown that kids who grow up in a
literacy-rich environment excel in school versus students who come from home
without much exposure to books. Clearly, parent involvement in early
literacy is crucial for a child’s success in school and consequently, life. 
PARENTS should Know
Letters and Sounds
This might seem obvious, but
once kids understand that the
print on the page translates to
words and sentences, learning
letters and letter sounds is a vital
step necessary for kids to begin
decoding words. 
Why it is important to involve parents in their
children’s literacy development?
 their children’s learning positively affects the child’s
performance at school in both primary and secondary
schools leading to higher academic achievement, greater
cognitive competence, greater problem-solving skills,
greater school enjoyment, better school attendance and
fewer behavioral problems at school.
Children are made readers on the
laps of their parents.

The home is the child’s first

school,

The parent is the first teacher

And READING is the first

subject.
