Introduction
Teacher literacy intervention
plan
Aresearch proven strategy to
support struggling readers to
reach grade level proficiency in
phonemic awareness, phonics,
vocabulary, fluency, or
comprehension. Typically
targeting one specific skill at a
time.

The Philippine InformalReading
Inventory (Phil-IRI Assessment
Tool is aimed to be used as a
classroom-based assessment tool
to measure and describe student’s
reading performance. Information
gathered from the assessment can
help classroom teachers design
and provide appropriate reading
instruction for their students.
10.
Why use teacherliteracy
intervention plan and reading audit
report?
Hypothesis and Research Questions
Based on the discussion outlined
above, these research questions are
posed because this study attempts
to reveal the results of the poor
reading comprehension after the 2
years of pandemic using the PHIL-IRI
Test and the Teacher Literacy
Intervention Plan.
11.
1. What arethe solution for difficulty in
reading comprehension?
2. Why do reading became a struggle to most
of the learners today?
3. What are the difficult factors that the
students faced in reading comprehension?
4. How do you help students who are
struggling with reading comprehension?
5. What is the greatest challenge that
students face today 2022-2023?
12.
Material and Methodology
2.1Research Design
The descriptive correlation method was used
to collect data and answer the research
questions in this study. A
descriptive correlational study, according to
Sousa et al. (2007), describes the variables and
the natural relations that exist between
and among them. This is a quantitative strategy
that focuses on objective measurements and
statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis
of data obtained via questionnaires,
and result surveys. The survey method
was employed in this study.
13.
2.2 Participants
In thisstudy, all pupils in two grades
5 level in different areas are entitled
for the PHIL IRI Test which measures
the ability to read and how far the
learning and comprehension of a
child reach the learning capability
and the passage level of the pupil.
Pupils’ shows withdrawal from
reading situations by refusing to
read identified as frustration level.
14.
and a childwho finds difficulty
learning to read is identified as
struggling readers. Struggling
readers are different from
reluctant readers, but many
may also be reluctant readers.
This is because they find
reading difficult and frustrating
which leads to them refusing
to learn.
15.
2.3 Data Collection
Thedata for this study was
collected using standardized tools
in Pre-Reading Activity Phil IRI,
Post Reading Phil IRI and the
Teacher Literacy Intervention Plan.
These data was collected and
gathered in the school head to
evaluate the results of the
students reading ability.
16.
2.4 Data Analysis
Itwas found out that poor reading
comprehension arises when it
experience the 2 years of pandemic.
As expected schools from SPED Center
who belongs to a fast learner section
experience and got the data of
frustrations and 1 struggling reader.
Liberty Elementary School belongs to a
far flung island and got the data of
frustrations too which we really expect
the poor reading comprehension. These
may be due to modular classes done by
a 2 years of pandemic.
17.
3. Findings
Research QuestionOne
3.1 What are the solutions for difficulty
in reading comprehension?
Visualizing or picturing what they are
reading. Making predictions about
what will come next in the text.
Looking back for keywords and
rereading in order to clarify or answer
questions, and thinking aloud to model
the strategies and thought processes
needed for comprehension.
18.
Research Question Two
3.2Why do reading became a struggle
to most of the learners today?
Lack of support - support includes the
availability of reading materials, one
on one support from educators, and
additional learning accommodations.
Without access to these resources,
children who require additional help
begin to fall behind and are unable to
catch up, putting them at a major
learning disadvantage.
19.
Research Question Three
3.3What are the difficult factors that
the students faced in reading
comprehension?
The study results revealed that lacking
of background knowledge, inadequate
vocabulary, time pressure and
inappropriate use of strategies are the
four most popular factors causing
reading comprehension difficulties.
20.
Research Question Four
3.4How the pandemic affects the
students?
For many students, the pandemic
complicated their current plans,
increased concern over academic
achievements, and changed their mode
of functioning. Students trying to cope
with either positive or negative coping
strategies and seek support from
others.
21.
Research Question Five
3.5What are the effects of poor
reading comprehension to
academic performance?
Academic, emotional and social issues
abound for children who are poor
readers. Children who are behind their
peers in reading struggle with low self-
esteem and feelings of inadequacy. Low
achievement in reading is also the
common denominator in school
discipline, attendance and dropout
problems, and juvenile crime.
22.
Research Question Six
3.5Whatis the greatest challenge that
students face today 2022-2023?
It includes the introduction,
Climate change and sustainability,
Increased focused on applied
learning and graduate
employability and falling enrolment
rates.
23.
Discussions
The first variablerefers to profile with
the comparison of the two elementary
schools of Grade 5 and Grade 7 students
reading comprehension. The second
variables refer to the grade level of the
pupils whom are the respondent of our
research.
24.
The mean differenceis 2.4 because the
numbers of pupils from the two
elementary school and the secondary
pupils have struggling readers for both
from San Jose Central Elementary
School, Liberty Elementary School
pupils and from Balite National School.
There were three frustration readers
and the others got the instructional as
well as independent readers too. We
choose one sample Test for the
comparison of the two variables.
25.
The summary numbersof the two
variables got thirty-four which were
the total number of the respondents
for the two elementary schools and
secondary students. Profile refers to
variable 1 and the grade level refers to
variable 2.
26.
We find outthe different
problems occur in reading.
Issues with reading
comprehension occur when
students struggle to understand
the meaning behind words,
phrases and other texts.
27.
1. Signs thatmay indicate a
reading comprehension difficulty
include:
2. Trouble with letter and word
recognition
3. Difficulty understanding words
and ideas
4. Limited vocabulary or
underdeveloped oral language
skills
5.Difficulty answering questions
about or discussing a texts
28.
6. Confusion aboutthe
meaning of the word and
sentences
7. Lacks the skill to sound out
unfamiliar words
8. Poor reading
comprehension
29.
Tips for Teachers:How to Help
Students Who Struggle with
Reading Comprehension
1. Make sure you understand
what your student is
struggling with. It’s important
to know what specific skills
your student needs help with
in order to provide the best
instruction possible.
30.
2. Give yourstudent plenty of
practice. This can be done
through homework assignments,
reading passages, and quizzes.
3. Use different teaching
methods. Not all students learn in
the same way, so it’s important to
use a variety of teaching methods
to help your student understand
the material.
31.
4. Provide themwith reading
materials that are at their level
and that they will be interested
in.
5. Teach them the different
comprehension strategies and
have them practice using them
regularly.
32.
6. Help thembuild their
vocabulary by providing books
containing new and challenging
words.
7. Encourage them to read aloud
regularly to hear themselves
reading and identify areas where
they may struggle.
33.
8. Be patientand positive. It may
take some time for your student
to improve their reading
comprehension skills, but with
practice and patience, they will
get there. Always be positive and
encourage your student along the
way.
34.
How to HelpStudents
Understand What They Read
Ask Questions. When students have
trouble understanding what they read,
it can be helpful to ask questions. It
can help them to focus on the text and
think about what they are reading.
Asking questions can also help to
connect the text and the world around
them.
35.
Visualize. It canalso be helpful
for students to visualize what they
are reading. It means creating a
mental image of the scene or
events in the text. Visualizing can
help students to understand the
story better and remember what
they have read.
36.
Summarize. Summarizing is
anotherstrategy that can be
helpful for students who
struggle with reading
comprehension. Outlining
helps to identify essential
information in a text and
organize it in a way that
makes sense
37.
Reread and Highlight.Rereading
and highlighting can also be
helpful. It allows students to go
back and read over the essential
parts of the text.
Draw Pictures. Drawing pictures
can also help students understand
a text. Images can provide
another way of representing the
information in the text.
38.
Create a ConceptMap. Creating a
concept map is another way of visually
representing the information in a text.
It can help students to see how
different concepts are related to each
other.
Use a Graphic Organizer. Using a
graphic organizer can also be helpful
for students who struggle with reading
comprehension. Graphic organizers
provide a way for students to organize
the information in a text.
39.
Quiz. Quizzing studentson the material
can also be helpful. It allows you to test
their understanding of the text and
identify areas where they need to
practice.
Get Extra Practice. Getting extra
practice with reading comprehension
can also be helpful. Consider giving
them reading tasks at home.
40.
The Benefits ofPracticing
Reading Comprehension Skills
There are many benefits to
practicing reading comprehension
skills. One of the most important
is that it helps students better
understand what they are
reading. It can help them in all
subjects, not just English class.
41.
Comprehension skills help
studentslearn more effectively
and remember what they read
longer. Additionally, practicing
these skills can help students
become better readers, which can
open up many opportunities for
them in the future.
42.
Many websites andapps offer
games and activities to help
students practice reading
comprehension skills. By taking
advantage of these resources,
students can improve their reading
comprehension skills and better
prepare themselves for success in
school and life.
43.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Resultsgained through this study are
also consistent with those of some
researchers showing the results in
reading. Taking the recent
developments based on the PHIL-IRI
Test, Literacy Intervention Plan and
Teacher Consolidated Result Profile.
We agree that constant follow-up
reading in every month makes
possible to change and improve the
reading habits.
44.
As long asthere is an intervention
program and committed to their
daily task, countless benefits could
be gained and they could be carried
out in other learning and teaching
contexts.
It was a great challenged in terms of
learning quality transfer, module
distribution and retrieval, student’s
difficulties in following instruction,
power disruption, internet
connection, and health risks posed
by the pandemic.
45.
There were questions
strategychallenges readers to
annotate in the margins by
marking passages that
answer the questions: These
strategies help struggling
readers improve reading
comprehension, and these
are as follows find books
46.
they’ll like, readaloud, skim
the headings of the text, re-
read sections that are
confusing, use a ruler or a
finger to follow along, write
down words you don’t know,
discuss what your child has
read, recap and summarize
the main points.
47.
Rule out problemsat more
basic levels of reading, such
as phonological awareness
and decoding. Reading
comprehension is likely to be
difficult if a student has
trouble processing words in
isolation. If a problem exists
with phonological awareness
or decoding,
48.
target these skillsbefore
focusing on comprehension.
Before assigning readings,
ensure that students have the
proper background
knowledge to make sense of
the text.
49.
Spend a fewmoments
highlighting important
background concepts and
vocabulary words. Provide
focus to readings, especially
those that are long in length.
Highlight key points for
students to look out for.
50.
Consider using thefollowing
adaptation of the modified
SQ3R (Survey, Question,
Read, Recite, and Review)
strategy to help improve
students’ reading
comprehension. The
following example illustrates
this method.
51.
Have students brainstorm
questionsrelated to the first
part of a selection. It is very
important that teachers
participate in this process and
model good questioning.
Then ask students to
formulate similar questions
for the next part.
52.
Remedial classes, home
visitationand follow ups by
means of communicating
their parents through a
proper forum were also
needed to cope up reading
comprehension problems.
53.
These things willhelp
students who struggle with
reading comprehension
become better readers. If you
are a parent, you can also
help your child at home by
doing some things with them.
54.
You can readtogether, talk
about the books you are
reading, and help them to
practice using the different
comprehension strategies.
The more you can help your
child, the better they will be
at reading comprehension.
55.
With practice andguidance, they
will be able to develop the skills
they need to be successful
readers.
