 CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

Learners who are thought to be more likely experience academic setbacks or discontinue

their education are referred to as learners-at-risk. Some schools' persistent policies of accepting

at-risk students into regular classes even if they are non-readers, these learners were encouraged

to advance to a new grade level without having their reading needs met. DepEd Order No. 45, s.

2002 Enforcement of No Read No Move Policy declares that until a pupil demonstrated mastery

of fundamental literacy abilities at a certain grade level, no student would be promoted to the

next higher grade. This simply serves to increase the number of readers in our nation who are

not successful.
 In this School Year, the researchers have noticed a number of learners that are having

reading difficulties or are struggling readers. Their reading capabilities are lower than their

current Grade level or what is expected of them. This problem hinders the learning experience

of the said learners therefor need proper intervention.

To address the aforementioned situation, the researchers will use the simplistic materials

locally developed by the researchers. This is a school’s initiative to address the mentioned

reading problem of identified learners.

 ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS

This action research will answer the following questions:

1. What is the reading level of the identified learners?

2. What simplistic reading materials can be produce?

3. What is the reading level of the identified learners after the utilization of the learning

materials?
 PROPOSED INTERVENTION, INNOVATION AND STRATEGY

This study will employ Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2 available within

the means of the school. Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2 is usually used for

older struggling readers who have not developed good reading skills by the time they reach

middle grades. The program includes instruction in word recognition with varied simplistic

reading materials to suit learners need.

Pre –Implementation Phase: The researchers will identify the learners that are having

difficulties in word recognition through pretest and then develops a localized reading

materials that suits them.

Implementation Phase: The researchers will produce word drills such as localized basic

sight words, sight word bingo, sight word fishing, word jump, flash card fun. These

activities will strongly reinforce word recognition. Each session must be kept short and

lively to maintain the interests of the learners.

Post Implementation Phase: Conduct posttest in word recognition to compare with the

pre-test if learning has been gained. Then awarding or giving incentives to the identified

learners will follow.

 ACTION RESEARCH METHODS

1. Participants and/or other Sources of Data and Strategy

This study will gather the information from the participants. The participants of the study

are the learners officially enrolled in Grade 6, Bokaw Elementary School, Bayawan City

Division of Bayawan City for S.Y. 2023-2024. The respondents are selected learners of

Grade 6 with reading difficulties/problem. In order to gather the data, the researcher will

conduct pre-test and post-test examination, taken or adopted from Simplistic Localized

Reading Tool. Other sources of information will be taken from related literature and studies.
2. Data Gathering Methods

The researchers first identify the respondents of the study who are the learners officially

enrolled in Grade 6, Bokaw Elementary School, Bayawan City Division of Bayawan City

for S.Y. 2023-2024. Pre-test examination aims to assess the prior knowledge of the learner

on reading. The researchers will analyze the result of the research interpretation that will

serve as the input for the proposed reading intervention. After the intervention, the result will

be computed in order to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

The data gathered will be the basis for the formulation of findings, conclusions, and

recommendations.

3. Data Analysis Plan

This study will use frequency and percentage statistical tools to identify the reading level

of the identified learners before and after intervention.

 VI. PLANS FOR DISSEMINATION AND UTILIZATION

This section presents on how does the Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2 booklet

will be utilized and disseminated in order to let other colleagues or other schools can also

gain benefit in improving the reading proficiency of their struggling learners.

The Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2 will be disseminated through LAC

Sessions.

School-Based LAC Implementation Plan

Utilization of Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2

Terminal Objective:

At the end of LAC Sessions, the Grades Four to Six teachers will be able to improve the reading

proficiency of struggling reader learners by at least 80% using Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2

Enabling Objectives:

1.Profile the reading level of the learners based on Reading Assessments

2. Orient the teachers on the different parts of the Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2 and its

utilization.

3. Simulate the utilization of Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2

4. Make an action plan on the utilization of Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 5. Utilize the

Simplistic Reading Materials for Key Stage 2 to the identified struggling reader learners.

6. Feedback the reading progress of the identified struggling reader learners after using Simplistic Reading

Materials for Key Stage 2
