- 2. What is reading comprehension? “Comprehensionrefers to the ability to understand written words. It is different from the ability to recognize words. Recognizing words on a page but not knowing what they mean does not fulfill the purpose or goal of reading, which is comprehension. Imagine, for example, that a teacher gives a child a passage to read.
- 3. What is Reading Comprehension? Thechild can read the entire passage, but he or she knows nothing when asked to explain what was read. Comprehension adds meaning to what is read. Reading comprehension occurs when words on a page are not just mere words but thoughts and ideas. Comprehension makes reading enjoyable, fun, and informative. It is needed to succeed in school, work, and life in general.” https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/home-family-urban/the-importance-of-reading-comprehension/?cn- reloaded=1

- 12. “With these schoolclosures, learners are experiencing what UNICEF terms “learning loss.” Personally, the blended learning that the Department of Education is adapting does not suffice in augmenting the learning needs of our students. Learning motivation is consistently deteriorating; skills development has been superficially delivered and, most unfortunate, reading abilities of our learners are at risk of continuous decline.”
- 13. “As per PolicyAnalysis for California Education (PACE), school activities hampered by COVID-19 have resulted in 30 percent decrease in the oral reading fluency of learners. This also implies that low performing schools are falling even farther behind. I presume this research result from PACE is applicable, too, in the Philippines.”
- 14. “I remember oneof our Literacy professors in UP saying that there are reading skills which are difficult to teach through the modular approach. One of those skills is decoding or the ability to apply the letter-sound relationships to translate print into speech. If learners, especially in Kindergarten, are not extensively taught phonics, which is the initial stage of teaching decoding, it would be hard for them to learn decoding later, hence detrimentally affecting their comprehension skills.”
- 15. “Modules do notteach sounds; someone who is capable of teaching phonics should sound it out to a child. In teaching beginning reading the modular way, we still need someone who is live, someone who will carefully plan and prepare reading activities. We need someone who is at least a reader. In short, modules alone will not help the child learn how to read.”
- 16. “Last thing andI guess the most major contributing factor to the minimal effectiveness of modules to teach reading is that our learning facilitators and parents did not receive any seminars or trainings to capacitate them to teach reading to their children. That’s what we lack the most. We forget the teaching readiness of our parents. We have a handful of trainings for our teachers, but none for our learning facilitators.”
- 17. “Teaching reading isa laborious and a back-breaking task. Reading is not a single topic. Reading is composed of five big components, namely: phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Thus, it is only through introducing these components to our learning facilitators that they get to familiarize and somehow acquire background knowledge in teaching reading.”
- 18. “Beyond everything, Iwant to underscore that every good pedagogy is backed by a positive personality. This means no matter how trained you are in teaching or how competent you are as a learning facilitator, if you are not patient and understanding with your child, your teaching-learning activity with him/her will not be fruitful in the end.”
- 19. “Reading is acomplex process. For a child to be able to read proficiently, they must master five key components: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.” https://www.coxcampus.org/the-5-critical-components-of-reading-and-how- to-assess-student-progress/
- 20. “There are manyways to assess comprehension. One simple way to assess comprehension is by asking students to retell what they read and/or asking a couple of questions and scoring their responses using our Retell Rubric. …” https://www.coxcampus.org/the-5-critical-components-of-reading-and-how- to-assess-student-progress/

- 22. Methods of AssessingReading Comprehension One method is to use a formal assessment,… with reading passages followed by questions about the passage.
- 23. Another method isto use informal assessments. Ask students to tell you about what they read or retell the story or event in their own words. Put students in discussion groups and listen to what they have to say about the book, watching for areas of confusion and students who are not participating. Ask students for a written response to the text, such as journaling, identifying their favorite scene, or listing the top 3 to 5 facts they learned from the text.
- 24. How Students CanImprove Reading Comprehension Skills “The first, most basic step is to improve overall reading skills. Help students select books about topics that interest them and encourage them to read at least 20 minutes each day.”
- 25. “Remind students toget an overview of what they’ll be reading by first reading chapter titles and subheadings. Conversely, students can also benefit from skimming over the material after they’ve read it.”
- 26. “Next, encourage studentsto stop every so often and summarize what they’ve read, either mentally or aloud with a reading buddy. They may want to make notes or use a graphic organizer to record their thoughts.”
- 27. “Students should alsotake steps to improve their vocabulary. One way to do so without disrupting the flow of reading is to jot down unfamiliar words and look them up after they’ve finished their reading time.”

- 29. The study showedthat teachers managed to ascertain or find out students' reading comprehension difficulties through assessment scores or task outputs then verified through the background of the students from their previous English teachers. Moreover, teachers guide the students who adopt PMDL in improving their reading comprehension skills by keeping open communication and close collaboration with the parents or guardians and providing reinforcement activities.
