Reading and

Writing
THE INTRODUCTION
Reading and writing are
fundamental skills that profoundly
affect Filipino students' academic
success, career readiness, and
ability to participate in society. In
the context of the Philippines,
where economic, educational, and
digital divides persist, these skills
are even more critical for
empowering students and
addressing systemic challenges.

?
Relevant?
Literacy is essential for
students to comprehend
subjects like mathematics,
science, and social studies.
However, challenges in reading
and writing are reflected in
national educational
assessments:
According to the 2018
Programme for International
Student Assessment (PISA), the
Philippines ranked last among
79 countries in reading
literacy, with Filipino students
scoring an average of 340 points,
below the global average of 487.
This highlights significant
struggles in basic comprehension
and critical thinking.
In a globalized economy, strong
reading and writing skills are
necessary for Filipino students to
compete in fields like business
process outsourcing (BPO),
education, and technology. Yet,
many Filipino graduates face
challenges in securing
employment due to poor
communication skills:
A 2019 study by JobStreet
reported that 75% of Filipino
employers identified
communication skills as the most
critical yet often lacking
competency among new
graduates.
Literacy is tied to civic
engagement, critical thinking, and
informed decision-making. Poor
literacy can hinder understanding of
political issues, legal rights, and
access to public services. With 91.6%
functional literacy among Filipinos
aged 10–64 (Philippine Statistics
Authority, 2019), there is progress,
but disparities remain, especially in
rural and impoverished areas.
What are
challenges
Filipino
students face
in Reading and
Writing?
1. Language Barrier.

The Philippines’ multilingual


context (Filipino, English, and various
regional languages) creates both
opportunities and challenges. Many
students experience difficulty
transitioning from their mother
tongue to Filipino or English in formal
education.
2. Resource Inequalities.

Lack of access to books, libraries,


and reading materials, especially in
rural areas, hampers literacy
development. In 2020, only 27% of
public schools in the Philippines met
the minimum ratio of 1 book per
student per subject (Department of
Education).
3. Impact of Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic


heightened existing challenges.
Remote learning highlighted
disparities in internet access and
reading opportunities. A 2021 UNICEF
report noted that more than 1.1
million Filipino children risked
dropping out of school due to
learning loss.
What are the
real-life
implications?
1. Dropout rates.

Poor literacy contributes to higher


dropout rates in secondary
education, particularly among
students from low-income families. In
2020, the Philippine Department of
Education reported a 6.7% dropout
rate for high school students.
2. National Progress.

A literate population is crucial for


nation-building. Without strong
reading and writing skills, Filipino
students may struggle to contribute
effectively to societal and economic
development.
Reading and writing are
cornerstones of Filipino students’
academic and personal growth.
Despite challenges such as resource
inequality, language barriers, and
pandemic-induced disruptions, these
skills remain critical for improving
educational outcomes, enhancing
employability, and fostering informed
citizenship.
Bridging these gaps requires
collective efforts from educators,
policymakers, and communities to
ensure every Filipino student has the
opportunity to achieve literacy and
thrive in a competitive world.

THE READING
PROCESS
The reading process is a dynamic,
interactive activity where readers
decode text and construct meaning.
It involves not just understanding
the words on a page but integrating
them with prior knowledge, context,
and the reader’s purpose. This
process is essential for academic
success, critical thinking, and
lifelong learning.
