A Synthesis of i-READR Reading Intervention in the lives of Struggling Readers

Abstract

Reading makes a difference in the lives of individuals. Studies show that it play a significant role in the students’ educational performance. Evidence suggests that students who are proficient readers have a high tendency to be good academic performance in school. Reading skill open to wider perspective as it helps learners improve their communication and language skills. Propelled by this principle, the College of Teacher Education and Technology (CTET) of the University of Southeastern Philippines through an extension program, the Integrated Reading Enhancement Approach to Developing Readers (i – READR) manages to provide comprehensive and holistic approach in responding to the needs and social concerns that beset secondary students in their struggle for quality learning and meaningful education. CTET believes that the process of integrated and inclusive partnerships and actions among teachers, parents, and students might be of help to address this eminent problem. In order to have successful reading experiences, the significance of extensive and meaningful reading experiences was considered. This is the highlight of i - READR through Summer Reading Remediation Camp conducted in the summer of three succeeding years from 2017 – 2019 in Sagayen National High School, Asuncion, Davao del Norte.
