Abstract

Education for all means no one should be left behind; thus, teachers should provide effective strategies for struggling readers. The “one-size fits all strategy” further divides the gap between the slow and advanced learners. This study used a quantitative observational research design to determine the reading ability of 30 struggling readers in terms of word recognition, reading comprehension, and reading speed using reading stories, Dolch's basic sight words and the Phil-IRI Manual 2018. The study develops strategic reading intervention materials to support teachers and students during the remedial programs. The pre-tests revealed that the reading ability of the struggling readers was at a frustration level. Furthermore, the develop strategic intervention reading materials used in remedial programs were composed of 4 parts: learning content, learning task guide, assessment guide, and enhancement guide. The post-tests show that the participants reading ability progressed to instruction and independent level after the remedial program. It was concluded that determining the student’s present ability is beneficial to develop effective intervention materials. It was suggested that the school leaders and program specialists should develop faculty and student support programs ideally to uplift the student’s literacy.

Abstract

Many successful professional athletes start from a humble beginning where investing time, dedication, and hard work is required. This research investigates the motivations and challenges young Filipino (Batang Pinoy) athletes experience while pursuing careers in boxing. It purposively selected 10 young male boxing athletes who had already competed in provincial, regional and national games from the Bicol region, Philippines. Using a phenomenological approach, the participants participated in an in-depth interview using the validated interview questions. It reveals that poverty is portrayed as a great motivator of young athletes, where the life stories of successful world boxing champions serve as their basis. They are also influenced and supported by their peers and family in their boxing careers. However, insufficient facilities and fundings are mainly the cause of their struggles. This study serves as a call for the national governing body of sports in the country to further extend its efforts to support the needs of young potential athletes. Specifically, safety equipment and training, strengthening sports policies, and funding are necessary to solve these challenges.

Abstract

The research aimed to develop an effective strategic reading intervention for remedial programs to aid the reading gaps of the left behind grade 5 learners. To realize education for all, teachers and school leaders should provide effective interventions targeting students’ interests and weaknesses. It used a quasi-experimental approach to determine the reading ability of 38 struggling readers in terms of word recognition, reading comprehension, and reading speed using reading stories, Dolch’s basic sight words, and the Phil-IRI Manual 2018. The research developed strategic reading intervention materials to support teachers and students during the remedial programs. The pre-tests revealed that the reading ability of the struggling readers was at a frustration level. Furthermore, the developed strategic intervention reading materials used in remedial programs were composed of four parts: learning content, learning task guide, assessment guide, and enhancement guide. The post-tests showed that the participants’ reading ability progressed to instruction and independence levels after the remedial program. It is concluded that determining the student’s present ability is beneficial to develop effective intervention materials. It is suggested that school leaders and program specialists should develop faculty and student support programs ideally to uplift the student’s literacy.
