CONTENT AND RATIONALE
Reading is the true backbone of most learning. Everything starts with the
written word â whether itâs math, science or even home economics. As students go
up the educational ladder, more reading is usually required as subjects become
more dense and challenging. (Philippine Star, 2010). Reading Comprehension is the
level of understanding of a text or message. This understanding comes from the
interaction between the words that are written and how they trigger knowledge
outside the text or message.
Department of Education former Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro (2012) said
that it is important to assess the reading capability of students because reading is
the foundation of all academic learning. If the pupil fails to master basic reading skills
at the outset, it will be a constant struggle for them to get through other disciplines
successfully, thus depriving them of the chance to become literate and productive
individuals. Once a learner cannot comprehend but can read still he/she could not
understand and process the context.
The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) is an assessment tool
that evaluates the reading proficiency level of elementary school pupils. It is the first
validated instrument that intends to measure the pupilsâ reading comprehension
level. The pupilâs word recognition and comprehension ability as well as his/her
4. 4
reading speed are informally assessed quantitatively and qualitatively through stories
and passages.
It was created to provide classroom teachers a tool for measuring and
describing reading performance. It is an assessment tool composed of graded
passages designed to determine a studentâs reading level. It is important to note that
the Phil-IRI only provides an approximation of the learnerâs abilities and may be used
in combination with other reliable tools of assessment.
The Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) can tell teachers whether students
are reading at, above, or below their grade levels. The individually administered Phil-
IRI Graded Passages can be used to assess studentsâ Oral Reading, Silent Reading
Comprehension and/or Listening Comprehension levels.
When used to assess oral reading skills, the Phil-IRI may be used to describe
decoding and word recognition, fluency and comprehension. The studentâs
performance in decoding (the ability to read isolated words using phonics
knowledge) and word recognition (the ability to automatically identify words on sight)
is measured through a Reading Miscue Inventory
In the Philippines, majority of the Filipino students do not possess the ability
and motivation to read. Moreover, based on an evaluation of Scholastic Incorporated
(2017) cited in Philippine Star (2017), 70% of the nationâs learners are incapable of
reading within the expected level. Scholastics Incorporated explained that one cause
of this reading incapability is a mismatch between the readerâs ability and the level of
reading materials that students are required to read. Borja (2009) cited Dr. Quijano,
former Department of Education (DepEd) administrator, who believed that a decline
in the reading comprehension also reported a decline in many other areas.
5. 5
The previous data in reading inventory came out that even Grade 6 learners
are still at ârisk for reading and have difficulties in comprehension which resulted to
frustration levels in word recognition and comprehension. In the District of
Lambayong II, result of the reading inventory revealed that Grade 6 learners are still
struggling readers and could not comprehend to the text being read. The group
screening shows that level of some Grade 6 learners are either Grade 4 or 3 levels
in reading comprehension. Hence, learners who did not passed the group screening
test undergone the individual reading test.
The researcher experienced that lack of standard reading tool to assess the
reading comprehension and word recognition of learners is one of the problems
during the conduct of reading inventory. Hence, the PHIL-IRI program could provide
an avenue to develop and help struggling readers become readers and could
comprehend. The experience of the researcher motivates her to conduct this study
on the reading performance of Learners in Lambayong II to know the intervention
that will be conducted to improve the reading skills. Her capacity to conduct this
study will enhance the PHIL-IRI program in the District.
INNOVATION, INTERVENTION AND STRATEGY
This study aimed to highlight the reading performance of learners in
comprehension level in group reading and individual reading. Word recognition was
measured by the correct pronunciation and speed in reading the STANDARDIZED
PHIL IRI passages wherein, pronunciation deals with the correct letter sound
recognition and blending while reading speed is the time spent in oral reading.
Reading comprehension was measured by getting the scores gained by the pupils in
answering the four (4) levels of comprehension. The word recognition and reading
6. 6
comprehension and a reading program will be designed tailored to the studentsâ
reading needs. The information collected served as the bases in making decisions
for planning an appropriate school-based teaching and learning instruction as well as
a reading program to improve the performance of pupils.
Establishment of Reading Centre. One way to develop the fluency in
reading and establish culture of reading among the learners it is better to put up a
reading center as venue for reading development of the learners. The reading center
in school caters the learners who wish to read and develop their reading skills.
Implementation of the Reading Development Program. The researcher
could design a reading program in school to support the needs of the learners in
reading. This special reading program is in cognizant to the PHIL IRI packages. This
serves a best practice of the school in intensifying reading and eradicating non-
readers in school. Reading Teacher will facilitate in identifying pupils who are in the
frustration level and providing interventions based on the different intervention
methodologies. Learners will be the target of this intervention program â both those
in the frustration, instructional and independent levels. Learners in the frustration
level will serve as receiver while those independent will be the purveyor. School
head will monitor every conduct of activity and will document for whatever
successes/failures that had been found for future improvements. This program was
done every day before the starts of the classes in the afternoon. This is a 30-minute
time for the development of reading fluency, vocabulary skills and reading
comprehension.
School Learning Action Cell (SLAC). This innovation developed the reading
strategy of teachers. In this training teachers were equipped with different
approaches on how to develop the vocabulary skills of the learners. They were
7. 7
taught of the instructional materials in comprehension and oral reading. This also
design to equip teachers with the procedures in conducting the GST and individual
oral reading test.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY
This study is based on the result of Philippine Informal Reading Inventory
(Phil- IRI) which the researcher recently conducted among Grade 6 learners. The IRI
is an assessment tool that evaluates the reading proficiency level of elementary
school learners. It is the first validated instrument that presents the overall reading
profile of public elementary schools nationwide. The pupilâs word recognition ability
and comprehension skills are informally measured quantitatively through oral reading
of stories, passages and poems. Informal measures are flexible. Because informal
measures have not been standardized, teachers are free to make modifications in
test procedures suited to the need studentsâ students and tailor testing to account for
their different backgrounds, interests and attitudes of students.
The emphasis of the Phil-IRI is on learning the skills, abilities and needs of
pupils to plan reading instructions. Thus, the Phil-IRI can provide educators, policy
makers and teachers not only with information about the pupilâs reading capabilities
but also with interventions appropriate for each reading level. In this context, (Trujilio,
2015).
In this context the PHIL-IRI used to assess oral reading skills, the Phil-IRI may be
used to describe decoding and word recognition, fluency and comprehension. The
Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) can tell teachers whether students are reading
at, above, or below their grade levels. The individually administered Phil-IRI Graded
8. 8
Passages can be used to assess studentsâ Oral Reading, Silent Reading
Comprehension and/or Listening Comprehension levels.
Considering the foregoing theories and concepts on the assessment of PHIL-
IRI program to the Grade 5 and 6 learners, this study provides the clear relationship
of the independent variable and the dependent variables. The INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE is the assessment of the PHIL-IRI program to the Grade 5and 6
learners. The DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the result of reading inventory of the
grade 5 and 6 in word recognition and reading comprehension.

ACTION RESEARCH METHODS
Research Design
The quasi-experimental method of research was utilized in the study. The
study determined the level of pre-test and post-test of the individual oral reading from
the result of group screening test.
The quasi-experimental method was used to determine the results of the
pretest and posttest of the experimental group in the word recognition and reading
comprehension skills. The researcher administered the reading passage from the
PHIL-IRI during the group screening test and pre-test of oral reading test from the
experimental group. Before the end of school year, the researcher administered the
reading passage to determine the results of the posttest among the experimental
group.
This research design underlies three premises in gathering necessary data.
First, information for the relevant variables involved was collected, averaged and
synthesized. Second, after determining the average score for each variable, the
extent to which the subjectsâ scores using the set criteria for each variable was
determined. Third inferential statistics was utilizes to examine the relationship of two
variables.
Locale of the Study
The study was conducted in Alamada Sabawa Elementary School,
Lambayong, Sultan Kudarat for the school year 2018-2019. The school is located in
the District II of Lambayong Municipality.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of the present study were forty-eight (48) Grade 5 and thirty-
nine (39) learners enrolled at Alamada Sabawa Elementary School for the school
11. 11
year 2018-2019. The researcher utilized the master list of all Grade 5 and 6 learners
enrolled in Alamada Sabawa Elementary School.
Data Gathering Instrument
This research study adapted the research tool from the new reading inventory
package of the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI 2018) to determine
the level of reading comprehension of Grades 5 and 6 learners. The Phil-IRI is an
assessment tool that evaluates the reading ability of pupil. It is an informal measure
that can assess the pupilâs comprehension, vocabulary and word identification skills.
It determines pupilâs thinking process as well as the reading performance. To
determine the level of reading comprehension skills and word recognition the
following standard parameter will be used.
Reading Level Word Recognition Reading Comprehension
Independent 97-100% 89%-100%
Instructional 90%-96% 59% - 79%
Frustration 89% and below 58% and below
In the comprehension level, twenty questions was given to the respondents
with four stories. The passages included in the tests have corresponding questions
designed to determine the different levels of comprehension: literal, inferential,
critical, applied, and creative level.
Sampling Technique
The researcher utilized the master list of all Grade Five and Six learners
enrolled in Alamada Sabawa Elementary School. The number of respondents
selected through complete enumeration sampling method.
Data Collection Procedure
12. 12
Prior to the actual gathering of data, the researcher sought the approval of the
Schools Division Superintendent to conduct the research study. The same scenario
will was followed by asking permission to the Principal to allow the pupils to spare
their time and utilized the data of the PHIL IRI. The researcher paid a courtesy visit
to the different section advisers informing them to conduct a research study.
The researcher conducted an orientation or a short talk to the learners before
getting the pre-test and post-test. After the test, the researcher checked the papers
and records the score of each respondent. The researcher took time in gathering the
data considering the scope of the study.
Plan for Data Analysis
All data gathered from the respondents were organized, tallied, tabulated and
presented in a series of tables. Percentage and frequency will be used for research
questions no. 1, 2 and 3. T-test of significant difference will be used to analyze the
data for question numbers 4 and 5.
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS AND REFLECTION
This section dealt with the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data
taking consideration on the research questions which sought to answer the main
problem of the research. The data were sequentially presented below in the form of
tables for the systematic and comprehensive analysis.
Reading Inventory of the Grade 5 and 6 Learners in Comprehension Skills
13. 13
Reading comprehension is one of the pillars of the act of reading. When a
learner reads a text he engages in a complex array of cognitive processes and
simultaneously used his awareness and understanding of phonemes, phonics,
letters and sounds and the relationship between sounds, letters and words and
ability to comprehend or construct meaning from the text. The reading
comprehension skills of Grade 5 and 6 learners was determined using the Group
Screening Test (GST). The findings was revealed in Table 1.
Table 1. Reading Comprehension Skills of Grade 5 and 6 Learners in GST
Grade Level Frequency
scored = >14
Percentage Frequency
scored = <14
Percentage
Grade 5 (N=48) 24 50.00% 24 50.00%
Grade 6 (N=39) 22 56.00% 17 44.00%
Total 46 53.00% 41 47.00%
*Mean=12.76
As shown in Table 1, in the result of group screening test in comprehension
level , there are twenty-four (24) or 50% Grade 5 learners and twenty-two (22) or
56% of Grade 6 learners have score more than or above 14 as required in the GST
of Phil IRI. This means that learners who have passed the group screening test of
PHIL IRI no need to undergo the individual oral reading test. These group of learners
must develop and practice their reading comprehension skills.
On the other hand, the findings revealed that twenty-four (24) or 50% of
Grade 5 and seventeen (17) or 44% of Grade 6 have scored lower than fourteen in
the group screening test. These group of learners were not able to pass the group
screening test in the PHIL IRI. The GST requires the learner to have at least 14 or
above in order to pass the test. This means that learners who have not able to pass
the GST should undergo the individual oral reading both in word recognition and
comprehension skills. The score of every learner determines what grade level they
should be given the PHIL IRI reading materials.
14. 14
This further, suggested that additional reading time and reading session must
be considered to continually develop the comprehension skills of Grades 5 and 6
learners. The learners who have not passed the GST should be given appropriate
intervention towards their reading comprehension skills.
Level of Individual Oral Reading Pre-Test and Post-Test of Grade 5 and 6
Learners
Individual oral reading provides an opening for the learners who did not
passed the Group Screening Test. The oral reading will gauge their capabilities so
that intervention program could be addressed. Findings of the study is presented in
Table 2.
Table 2. Individual Oral Reading Pre-Test of Grade 5 and 6 Learners
Grade Level Frustration Percentage Instructional Percentage Independent Percentage
Grade 5
(N=48)
24 50.00% 0 0
Grade 6
(N=39)
17 44.00% 0 0
Total 41 47.00%
As shown in Table 2, the individual oral reading test of all learners who have
not able to pass the GST in Grade 5 was twenty-four (24) and in Grade 6 was
seventeen (17). This means that Grade 5 and 6 learners who did not passed the
GST are considered Frustration in their reading level. These learners was given
additional oral reading test to determine their reading level.
The Phil-IRI Oral Reading Test is administered in order to identify the
studentâs miscues in oral reading; record the number of words that a student reads
per minute; and find out how well a student understands the passage read. The first
passage that the child should be asked to read aloud must depend on the childâs raw
score in the GST. If the childâs raw score in the GST is 0-7, he/she must be given a
15. 15
passage that is 3 grade levels below his current level. If the childâs raw score in the
GST is 8-13, he/she must be given a passage that is 2 grades below his current
level.
After receiving specialized instruction, the students will be re-assessed using
the Phil-IRI Posttest Forms. Using these graded passages, the test administrator
must again identify the studentâs independent, instructional and frustration levels.
Findings of the study is presented in Table 3.
Table 3. Individual Oral Reading Pre-Test of Grade 5 and 6 Learners
Grade Level Frustration Percentage Instructional Percentage Independent Percentage
Grade 5
(N=24)
15 63.00% 9 37% 0
Grade 6
(N=17)
7 41.00% 10 59% 0
Total 22 54.00% 19 46.00%
As shown in Table 3, the individual oral reading test of all learners during the
post test revealed that there are fifteen (15) or 63% of Grade 5 learners and seven
(7) or 41% of Grade 6 learners who have not pass the GST was still belong to
Frustration level. There are nine (9) or 37% of Grade 5 learners and ten (10) or 59%
of Grade 6 learners belong to Instructional reading level. This means that the reading
level of the learners both in Grade 5 and 6 have improved from pre-test to post-test
as indicated in the changes of reading level.
The findings imply that thorough and intensive reading activities, monitoring
and intervention was conducted in order to eradicate and develop the reading
comprehension skills of learners.
Comparison of Pre-test and Post-test Scores in Individual Oral Reading Test of
Grade 5 and 6 Learners
16. 16
Individual Oral reading is a reading activity that expresses the emotions using
reading skills and involves reading out aloud the words, sentences or passages, with
eye sight focusing on the texts. It is a complex and cognitive process which engages
not only pronouncing, reading, and listening, also language perception,
comprehension and production of the reader. Findings of the study is revealed in
Table 4
Table 4. t-test Analysis on the Difference Between the Pre-test and Post-test
Scores in Individual Oral Reading Test
Source of
Variation
Mean t-computed t-critical Interpretation
Pre-Test 12.74
37.006 2.562 Significant
Post-test 13.67
As shown, the t-test analysis on the difference between the pre-test and post-
test score in individual oral reading have a t-computed value =37.006 greater than
the t-critical at 2.562, thus the null hypothesis is rejected. There is a significant
difference on result of pre-test and post-test in individual oral reading of Grade 5 and
6 learners. This means that the result of the pre-test scores (M=12.74is significantly
different to that of the post-test (M=13.67). It is manifested that the strategy utilized in
the redaing comprehension is effective wherein the Grade 5 and 6 tremendously
improve their oral reading skills from pre-test to posttest.
However, students who garner a Raw Score that is lower than 14 (74%) need
to undergo further assessment, as this may be an indication that the student is
experiencing difficulty reading at-level text. It is thus necessary to conduct
individualized assessment in order to further describe the childâs reading
performance. The learners will be assessed using the Phil-IRI Graded Passages. If a
student garners a score of 13 and below in the Filipino GST, s/he will be given the
17. 17
Filipino Graded Passages Pre-Test. If the student garners a score of 13 or below in
the English GST, s/he will be given the English Graded Passages Pre-Test. Note
that it is possible for a student to undergo the Phil-IRI Graded Passages in one or
both languages.
READING INTERVENTION PROGRAM
Rationale
The continuing decline in the quality of education in the Philippines has
alarmed educators publicly. If development were anchored on education, the
economic wellbeing of our nation would be facing a grim prospect if the current trend
will continue. To deal with this concern our educational system is urging the field to
do some innovations to resolve this condition with the initiative of our division.
Reading with comprehension is an important tool to reach oneâs dream in life.
As PHIL. â IRI result, wherein more pupils fall on frustration level, it is a DepEd
mandatory to conduct a Reading Class to eradicate non-readers and to develop
comprehension ability of the pupils in both in oral and silent reading.
To attain this goal in reading, it is believed that through ample time and the
positive values of every Filipino child in reading makes up to high reading
performance.
Objectives:
1. Develop phonemic awareness and knowledge of phonics through a variety of
models and demonstration.
2. Begin to read at different age and grade levels
18. 18
3. Develop the pupilsâ basic reading skills which include nothing details, getting
the general significance of a selection, predicting outcomes of given events and
making inferences and follow-up simple directions.
4. Use and learn successful reading strategies in the context of real reading.
5. Need the opportunity to read, read and read.
Activities and Methodology
The researcher could design a reading program in school to support the
needs of the learners in reading. This special reading program is in cognizant to the
PHIL IRI packages. This serves a best practice of the school in intensifying reading
and eradicating non-readers in school. Reading Teacher will facilitate in identifying
pupils who are in the frustration level and providing interventions based on the
different intervention methodologies. Learners will be the target of this intervention
program â both those in the frustration, instructional and independent levels.
Learners in the frustration level will serve as receiver while those independent will be
the purveyor. School head will monitor every conduct of activity and will document
for whatever successes/failures that had been found for future improvements. This
program was done every day before the starts of the classes in the afternoon. This is
a 30-minute time for the development of reading fluency, vocabulary skills and
reading comprehension.
ACTION PLAN
