TITLE: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EARLY LITERACY INSTRUCTION IN

ENSURING FUTURE READING SUCCESS AMONG KAUSWAGAN


ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Background of the problem:

Early literacy instruction plays a critical role in shaping a child's language abilities, building a
foundation for successful reading comprehension, and overall academic achievement. This
problem explores the importance of early literacy instruction in promoting future reading
success, emphasizing the key components necessary for effective early literacy interventions.

Early Literacy Instruction:

(1)Phonological Awareness: Phonological awareness refers to the ability to recognize and


manipulate sounds in spoken language, including identifying rhymes, syllables, and
individual sounds. Developing phonological awareness through activities like rhyming games
and sound blending enhances a child's ability to decode words, crucial for proficient reading.
(2.)Vocabulary Development: Building a rich vocabulary is essential for reading
comprehension. Early literacy instruction should focus on introducing new words through
read-alouds, conversations, and exposure to a variety of texts. This exposure facilitates a
child's understanding of the meaning and usage of words, improving their comprehension
skills.(3.) Print Awareness: Print awareness involves understanding the relationship between
spoken and written language. It includes recognizing letters, understanding that print carries
meaning, and understanding concepts like left-to-right directionality and word spacing. This
knowledge forms the basis for learning phonics and decoding skills necessary for reading
fluency.(4.) Phonics and Decoding: Phonics instruction teaches children the relationship
between sounds and letters. It helps children recognize and decode words, leading to
improved word recognition, reading accuracy, and spelling skills. Explicit phonics
instruction, combined with ample practice, is crucial for developing reading proficiency.

Benefits of Early Literacy Instruction:

(1.) Improved Phonemic Awareness: Early literacy instruction that focuses on phonological
awareness enhances a child's ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language,
leading to improved reading skills and better word decoding abilities.(2.) Enhanced
Vocabulary and Comprehension: A strong foundation in vocabulary development enables
children to understand and derive meaning from a wide range of texts, enhancing their
reading comprehension skills.(3.) Increased Reading Fluency: Early literacy instruction that
incorporates phonics and decoding skills helps children become proficient readers by
improving their word recognition abilities. This fluency leads to increased reading speed and
a smoother reading experience.(4.) Lifelong Love for Reading: Early literacy instruction
that fosters a love for reading and makes reading enjoyable can have long-lasting effects.
Children who are introduced to the joy of reading early in life are more likely to become
lifelong readers, leading to continual growth and success in education.

REASON:

The reason why we choose this problem simply because we see Early literacy instruction acts
as a crucial foundation for future reading success. By providing children with phonological
awareness skills, vocabulary development, print awareness, and phonics instruction,
educators and parents can significantly impact a child's reading abilities and overall academic
achievements. It is essential to invest in quality early literacy interventions and create a
positive and engaging reading environment to cultivate a lifelong love for reading and
continued success in education.
TITLE: LEVELS OF READING COMPREHENSION AMONG THE STUDENTS OF
TEACHER EDUCATION IN WMSU MABUHAY CAMPUS S.Y. 2023- 2024: ITS
EFFECT TO STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

BACKGROUND

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill critical for academic success, especially for
students pursuing a career in education. However, research suggests that there may be
variations in the levels of reading comprehension among students enrolled in teacher
education programs. This problem aims to explore the factors that contribute to the varying
levels of reading comprehension among students in teacher education and the potential
impact on their future role as educators.

"Factors Influencing Reading Comprehension Levels":(1.) Prior Reading Skills and


Experiences: Students' reading abilities before entering teacher education programs may
vary, influenced by factors like early literacy experiences, access to books, and reading
habits. These differences can affect their initial levels of reading comprehension and
subsequent growth.(2.) Instructional Approaches and Strategies: The instructional
approaches and strategies employed in teacher education programs can significantly impact
reading comprehension levels. Varied methods such as explicit instruction, guided reading,
modeling, and comprehension strategies can enhance students' understanding of texts.(3.)
Content Knowledge and Vocabulary: Adequate content knowledge in various subject areas
plays a vital role in comprehending subject-specific texts. Additionally, a robust vocabulary
is crucial for understanding the nuances of written information, thereby impacting reading
comprehension levels among students.(4.) Reading Engagement and Motivation: Active
engagement and motivation play pivotal roles in reading comprehension. Students who are
intrinsically motivated to read and actively participate in reading activities tend to develop
better comprehension skills over time.

"Implications for Future Educators":(1.) Classroom Instruction: The reading


comprehension levels of future educators can influence their ability to effectively teach
reading to students. Educators with high levels of reading comprehension can model effective
strategies, provide targeted instruction, and scaffold learning for struggling readers.(2.)
Curriculum Planning: Understanding the varying levels of reading comprehension among
teacher education students can inform curriculum planning, focusing on strengthening
reading skills, and imparting effective instructional strategies to address any deficiencies.(3.)
Personalized Instruction: Recognizing the diverse needs and reading abilities of teacher
education students can guide the implementation of differentiated and individualized
instruction, ensuring that all future educators receive appropriate support to strengthen their
reading comprehension skills.(4.) Professional Development: Continuous professional
development opportunities can help teacher education students further enhance their reading
skills. Offering workshops, resources, and guidance on research-based instructional strategies
can have a positive impact on their future reading instruction practices.

REASON

We came up with this problem because we see that it is rare for students who know how to
read and sometimes don’t understand what they read. Though its crucial to conduct but we
need to push through so us to ensure that future educators possess strong reading skills. By
considering factors such as prior reading skills, instructional approaches, content knowledge,
and reading engagement, teacher education programs can design effective interventions that
foster growth in reading comprehension. Developing proficient readers among teacher
education students will in turn enable them to become effective literacy instructors, positively
impacting the reading abilities of their future students.
TITLE: FACTORS AFFECTING TEACHING READING AMONG TEACHERS
BETWEEN LES ( LIGAYA ELEMNTARY SCHOOL ) AS MONOGRADE AND KES
( KAUSWAGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL) AS MULTIGRADE

Background:

In the field of education, teaching reading is a fundamental skill that lays the foundation for
all other academic achievements. However, there are certain factors that can pose challenges
for teachers when it comes to effectively teaching reading, particularly in different settings.
This problem aims to shed light on the factors affecting teaching reading among teachers in
two different schools, namely LIGAYA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (a monograde school)
and KAUSWAGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (a multigrade school).

LIGAYA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

Ligaya Elementary School is a monograde school, meaning that it is organized in a way


where each teacher focuses on teaching a single grade level. In such a setting, the primary
factor affecting teaching reading is the availability of resources. Due to limited funds and
resources, teachers may struggle to provide their students with a wide range of reading
materials, such as books, worksheets, and educational tools. This scarcity of resources can
hinder the teachers' ability to create a diverse and engaging reading environment, making it
challenging to cater to the varied reading levels and interests of their students.

Moreover, another factor that affects teaching reading in Ligaya Elementary School is the
class size. With only one grade level to handle, teachers may have comparatively larger
classes, making it difficult to provide individualized attention and support to each student.
This challenge further exacerbates the task of teaching reading, as personalized instruction is
crucial for students' progress in developing reading skills.

KAUSWAGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

Kauswagan Elementary School, on the other hand, is a multigrade school, meaning that a
single teacher is responsible for teaching multiple grade levels within the same classroom. In
this setting, the primary factor affecting teaching reading is the wide range of reading abilities
among the students. It becomes challenging for teachers to address the diverse reading needs
of students who are at different reading levels within a single classroom. Differentiating
instruction to cater to individual reading abilities can be a complex task, particularly when
resources and time are limited.

Additionally, the factor of time management poses another challenge for teachers in
Kauswagan Elementary School. With multiple grade levels to handle, teachers often face
time constraints, making it difficult to dedicate sufficient time to teaching reading skills to
each student. This can result in rushed lessons and limited practice opportunities, hindering
students' overall reading development.

REASON

We decided to have this problem in a point, we want to know the differences or even the
factors that challenges the teachers when it comes to teaching reading particularly in different
settings. We want to know the possible factors of teaching monograde class and multigrade
class.
