II.                 Rationale of the Project:

        Oral Reading is one of the five major components of research – based reading program (National Reading Panel).  Reading Fluently refers to the ability to read text with automaticity, accurately, and good prosody. When the learners read fluently, they can spends less energy on decoding and pronunciation strategies and focus more on the overall goal of reading – constructing meaning from text. It has often been found that learners who struggle with comprehension, also struggle with fluency (Rasinski, 2015)

         Oral language lays the foundation for the reading and writing skills children will develop as they enter the progress through school. They will use oral language in all aspects of their education, as they connect with their peers and teachers, and throughout their lives as they grow into adulthood. Having a solid foundation in oral language will help children become successful readers a strong communicator as well as build their confidence and overall sense of well-being (Reeder,2017)

III.               Objectives:

Project REACh specifically aims to attain the following;

A.   Achieved zero non-reader among Grade 4 to Grade 6 learners of Baya Elementary School for S/Y 2022 – 2023  

B.   Improved listening, speaking, reading, writing skills and vocabulary skills from the baseline to 90.

IV.               Description of the Project:

               Considering of the challenges that we have at Baya Elementary School, we commit to attain our objectives through partnership and collaboration. This one (1) year activity shall focus mainly on the improvement of Reading Literacy among learners through PROPOSED INNOVATION, INTERVENTION, AND STRATEGY. Teachers are expected to lead in all the planned undertakings. The proponents shall spearhead coordination with partner program within the school like project CATCH UP LN. Various methods and activities will be implemented for the realization of the project.

V.                 Proposed Innovation, Intervention, and Strategy

            The following were the proposed Innovation, Intervention, and strategies under Project REACh:

1.      Script Selection – Before the week begins, choose a script, or prepare one based on a text. Make copies for the group, three or more for each member.

2.      Reader’s Theatre – This will be done every Monday. Discuss the purpose and procedures for Readers’ play with the class/group. Assign learners parts by having them volunteer. Practice needs to be done aloud and silently. On Tuesday, Wednesday, have learners practice their parts in class, on their own, in their groups, and at home. This activity can also be done during center time or as part of remedial period.

3.      Paired (or partner) reading – the learners read with a peer partner. Each partner takes a turn reading to the other. A more fluent reader can be paired with less fluent to model fluent reading. The more fluent reader can provide feedback and encouragement to the less reader.

4.      Choral Reading – In choral or unison reading, learners read along as a group with a teacher.

5.      Culminating Activity – Friday is performance day. Learners can read /perform their scripts for an audience of classmate, parents or even the principal. Remember, this is not a performance based on memorization. They are reading the script they have practiced over the week.

6.      Word Wall – is a collection of words which are displayed in large visible letters on a wall which designed to be an interactive tool for learners and contain an array of words that can be used during reading.

VI.               Scope of the Project:

                This project shall be implemented in all grade 4 to Grade 6 learners for School year 2022-2023

VII.            Beneficiaries/Recipients:

                 The entire school population of Grade 4 to Grade 6 learners for school year 2022-2023, specifically:

VIII.          Monitoring and Evaluation:
