Narrative Report on Pambansang Buwan at Araw ng Pagbasa
for the S.Y. 2022-2023
I. INTRODUCTION
Reading is a tool a person gets information from written letters and words. A person
can read using sight or touch, such as when a vision-impaired reads Braille-method. Reading
is actually a complex, multi-part process. Reading in classroom takes many forms, but it is
often used as way of introducing grammar or vocabulary items.
At the most basic level reading is the recognition of words from simple recognition of
the individual letters and how these letters from a particular word to what each word means
not just on a n individual, but as part of a text. We can say that reading is one of the very
important elements of education. Understanding what we are reading is a key and is certainly
the main point of teaching reading in class.
According to authors of English Expressway Book, “Reading is fundamental to
function in today’s society, it is a vital skill in finding a good job and is important because it
develops one’s mind. It is magical thinking to believe Janet Emig (1983) viewpoint of
teaching that, “The pupils learned because we teach” and one of the important skills that
needs to be developed in children is Reading. It can open up new worlds and enrich live.
In most cases, there will be no special regulations involved on earth it is generic,
practical or theoretical. Perhaps, reading is important because words spoken and written are
the building blocks of life. We are the results of words that we learned as we read.
2. II. IMPLEMENTATION
This school year, every Grade-I teacher here in our school conducted the school
Reading Assessment (EGRA ARATA) for grade I learners. The objective of this program is
to determine the reading readiness level of the child.
Part of this activity, we teachers, can easily identify pupils in their particular domain
which they can failed to exhibit/perform.
Pigcarangan Integrated School teachers also conducted the PHIL-IRI from Grade II-
VII, the Class Reading Pre-test both Silent and Oral Reading for English and Filipino subject.
The school also conducted reading activities for the month of November as the Pambansang
Buwan ng Pagbasa and in line with our school’s reading program which is the I CARE
(Integrating Comprehension Activity for Reading Enhancement). Some teachers also used the
DEAR Program (Drop Everything And Read) and Story Telling/Reading.
