ABSTRACT
The project attached hereto entitled “10-MINUTE DAILY READING HABIT NG MGA BULILIT”: A Kindergarten Reading Readiness Intervention Program” by Lina C. Bejiga, Principal II of El Salvador City Central School, El Salvador Misamis Oriental aims to determine the performance of the kinder learners on letter, sound and symbol recognition based on Marungko Reading Readiness Approach and identify other positive implications of the 10-minute Daily Reading Habit. A Focused-Group Discussion was conducted to gather responses from the teachers assigned in the kindergarten. The 220 kinder learners took the Marungko Reading Readiness Letters to assess the reading readiness of the respondents. A descriptive statistic such as frequency and percentage was used to treat the data gathered. Before the intervention, 173 out of 220 kinder learners can’t recognized letter sounds and symbols but after three (3) months it significantly decreased to 65 learners. It was also noted that during the implementation of the program, there were 146 learners who can read syllables and 131 who can read words.
CONTEXT AND RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT
The academic success of children in later years depends heavily upon their kindergarten readiness. The first few years of education and preparedness are the most crucial to establishing a solid foundation from which children can adopt to school system and learn successfully. During this period, children develop primary skills that form the foundation of reading (Majzub, Rohaty 2010).
The level of preparedness with which a child enters kindergarten are academic and emotional, and they rely most heavily on being prepared at home. However, not all parent has the skill to nurture related skills in children, including the ability to focus, think logically, recognize important words, demonstrate self-control and speak clearly. School’s best practices can be implemented to help teachers and parents with this, teaching them ways to incorporate and encourage basic learning skills into daily routines, games and quality times together.
Furthermore, reading readiness is an important component of formal schooling. Kindergarten children need to compete with other children in Year One of elementary school.
The purpose of this project was to determine if the school’s reading intervention program, “10 Minute Daily Reading habit Ng mga Bulilit” would increase the basic reading readiness skills of kindergarten learners in El Salvador City Central School. This focused on the learners’ performance in letters and sounds recognition, syllabication and word recognition.
This project paper attempted to determine the effectiveness of the school’s reading readiness intervention program for kindergarten; the “ 10 MINUTE DAILY READING HABIT NG MGA BULILIT”.
Based on the Marungko Reading Readiness Letters Pre test result conducted in kindergarten, June 2017, it was found out that only 47 out of 220 kindergarten learners can recognize letter sounds and symbols.
