Blended Techniques In Teaching Reading To Key Stage 1 Learners

Marlon Y. Delos Reyes

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to bridge the gap in reading proficiency among Key Stage 1 learners at Sierra Elementary School by implementing a blended approach. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, utilizing the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) tool adopted from DepEd to assess reading performance among 22 Key Stage 1 learners. Data collection involved administering a pre-test using CRLA, followed by the implementation of the blended techniques, which integrated ICT integration, re-reading using Marungko, and playbased strategies. A post-test using CRLA then measured the effectiveness of the intervention.
