reading skills are important to their success in school as they will allow them to
access the breadth of the curriculum and improve their communication and language
skills. For this reason, the importance of reading is a necessary tool in studying as
well as in learning. Reading is not just a simple matter of knowing the words or the
Reading Comprehension and word recognition skills are vital in the teaching-
learning process because reading is a tool subject. Unless the child is equipped with
the basic reading skill, he would not be able to study independently and effectively
Education supports Every Child A Reader Program (ECARP), which aims to make
every Filipino a reader and a writer in his/her grade level. But unfortunately, every
school year, reading performance is one of the concerns of every school. Some of
the learners are poor in reading that they belong to frustration level or non-reader. In
other words, these learners reading performance are below in their grade level.
“Every Child A Reader Program” (ECARP) and to address the concern of the
level and non-reader, this action research is done and implemented through the

above considering the new set-up of learning, the New Normal Education.
Reaching out these frustration level and non-reader learners in the New
Normal Education, the school has made a program suited for this new set-up of
learning. The BAKTAS project, literally means Hiking and also stands for “Bringing
Academe and Knowledge To Learners Amidst crisis Situation”. The BAKTAS project
was a regular visitation by every teacher in every grade level to the low performing
learners to constantly check, monitor and assist them and in the case of this action

In this action research, it provided a well-thought action plan for the Grade Six
learners of Rosario Elementary School who belong to the frustration level and the
non-reader in English. In this action research, the approaches that best used and
adapt to the learners were highly given importance. For instance, The Fuller
approach; This approach is widely used for the beginner in reading English. The
concept of this approach is reading through phonics with the total physical response.
It is important that the letters and sounds of the alphabet are mastered first by the
learners as basis to read simple words by blending them together and accompanied

teacher models how to read the words and will be followed and read together until

introduced the language by modeling until the baby gradually learns to talk,
understand and use the language. This helped a lot in oral reading.
Due to the absence of face to face instruction, this project was done by

ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to improve the reading performance using the
Project FAMILIAR “Fuller Approach blended with Modeling Innovatively the
Language to Improve Academically in Reading”. Descriptive research design
method was used to conduct the study. The participants of the action research
were the frustration level and non-reader learners of Grade-Six at Rosario
Elementary School. A survey questionnaire with four-point Likert Scale on the
difficulties of learners in reading English was administered to 7 respondents of
this research. Frequency, percentage, and mean were used to tabulate the result
of this action research. The findings of this study revealed that on the average,
learners agreed on the given indicators which means that they faced high level of
difficulty in reading English especially when no one is guiding them to read. The
learners agreed that project FAMILIAR helped them improve their attitude in
reading English as well as their reading performance. This is backed up with the
study according to Oxford Learning (2017) that the key to encouraging reading
habits in kids is reading with them at home from a young age. A decrease on the
number of frustration level and non-reader learners from 30.42% down to 17.38%
was evident. This implies that there was an increase of learners who improved
their reading performance in English. This signifies that the intervention
implemented boosted learner’s ability to read English words. Participants
conclude that using project FAMILIAR helped them recognizing letters and
sounds by blending them together to form a word, how to read in proper way
through guided-practice steps, motivated them to read and have gained
confidence by reading more English words than before. Therefore, the
researcher recommend that teachers should use project FAMILIAR to improve
the English reading performance of the struggling learners. Therefore, the school
initiatives should be sustained and properly monitored for continuous
improvement of the learners and teachers.
