Abstract:

An indispensable skill that makes human highly distinct is his ability to comprehend. Project RUNDLE (Read with Understanding to Discover and to Learn)- a reading intervention program of Tanay National High School English Department was conducted to determine the impact of utilizing contextualized reading remediation worksheets to ten (10) struggling readers as identified in the Phil IRI Pretest of SY 2019-2020. A validated questionnaire-checklist to assess worksheet’s level ofacceptability in terms of clarity of explanation, aids to instruction and learning activities, a 15- item test questions generating learners’ literal, interpretive and applied levels of comprehension, and one-group pretest-posttest design were used to determine improvement before and after exposure to remediation worksheets. The results showed that the developed reading remediation worksheets were highly acceptable and that there was a significant difference on the level of performance of the Grade 10 struggling readers before and after exposure to the developed reading remediation materials. The results suggest that Project RUNDLE is an effective reading remediation program that uses several effective reading strategies as facilitated by a trained reading teacher and by utilizing a compilation of locally-crafted reading instructional materials.
