Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Reading is an essential means of gaining knowledge and an instrument for learning. However, the deterioration of the quality of learning is one of the effects of the reading problems that have become a concern, particularly for teachers facing challenges. Numerous reading literacy programs, approaches, and strategies have to be developed to aid struggling learners in facilitating and improving language acquisition. Hence, the researcher conducted a pre-experimental study to determine the effects of the Simplified PVC Reading Approach as a teaching aid to the reading skills development through phonological awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension of struggling readers. This study also explored whether the studied variable has a significant effect or not on the reading level of struggling learners. Eight students who had been identified under the "frustration reading level" in Argao National High School, District of Mogpog, Division of Marinduque, S.Y. 2021-2022 were selected as participants and were subjected to the 15-day implementation of the Basa Baya Lahat (Reading Brigade) program as an enhancement program. Based on the post test conducted after the experiment using the proposed Simplified PVC reading approach and validated reading materials, it was found out that the eight participants significantly increased their reading level to "instructional level" and "independent level". This indicates that the Simplified PVC Reading Approach had significant effects on the improvement of reading skills development at the word recognition level with a mean of 4.425%, at the comprehension level on oral reading with a mean of 21.460%, and the comprehension level on silent reading with a mean of 5.4425%. This implies that the proposed reading approach and the activities performed within the enrichment reading program effectively improved the word recognition and comprehension skills (oral and silent) of students with reading difficulties. Moreover, this could be a working tool and teaching aid for teachers to help struggling readers. As a result, the study's findings also imply that continuously developing theory, approach, and strategies can help address learners' growing reading issues over time and thus develop their reading skills in the long run.
