Reading Approaches on Key Stage 2 Learners' Literacy Levels in Both Filipino and English

Abstract

This case study seeks to determine the best reading approaches to employ in order to reduce the rate of frustration in both Filipino and English literacy levels of key stage 2 learners during the school year 2023-2024. The information was gathered through interviews. Alipao Elementary School is one of the medium schools in Alegria District, Surigao del Norte. Based on the PHIL-IRI Pre-Test Results for School Year 2022-2023 at Alipao Elementary School in Key Stage 2 learners, there was a sharp increase in frustration rate compared to instructional rate in both Filipino and English literacy levels. Based on the interviews, most of the teachers used pre-reading, intensive reading, and extensive reading as reading techniques in the classroom. Among the three techniques, intensive reading is the most effective because word recognition, fluency, and comprehension are all used. The findings of this study indicate that intensive reading, as utilized by key stage 2 learners, will be more effective if parents’ and guardians' engagement is promoted.
