The document describes a literacy program started by the UP College of Education called the NSTP Literacy Training Service Program. Students in the program provide literacy instruction to those in need. To further their efforts, the program launched a project called the Padyaklatan, which uses pedicabs to bring children's books to nearby communities to foster a love of reading. With support from donors who provided pedicabs and funds, the project aims to make a positive difference in young learners' lives. The document encourages joining the program as volunteers to help spread literacy.

12. …the UP College of Education created an
NSTP Literacy Training Service Program…

13. … and learned more about the
challenges of literacy teaching and
learning.

14. In cooperation with our public school
partners…

15. … our NSTP-LTS students provide much
needed literacy instruction to those who
need it.

16. They teach literacy through a
structured approach.

17. They develop literacy through play.

18. They provide one-on-one teaching.

19. They provide intensive intervention.

20. They give time for practice.

21. and take on various challenges in stride.

22. They are friends...

23. …and literacy tutors that serve as a
guiding hand.

24. They read good books…

25. and have a lot of fun in the process!

26. But these little books….

27. … must reach these little hands.
