Dumayat Elementary School- Free Filipino Reading
Materials were distributed to the learners of Grade 1 as part of the school’s advocacy on Project RED: Reading Enhancement
and Development initiated by Mr. Ricardo S. Tambogon, Head Teacher III. The Filipino Reading Material entitled “Halina
at Matutong Bumasa: Mga Unang Hakbang sa Pagbasa ng Filipino” is authored by
Mr. Tambogon while the writing materials entitled “Agsurat ti Husto” is written
by Mr. Danio I. Lagasca.
The
project aims to enhance the reading, comprehension and writing skills of
learners in the early years. Reading properly, correctly and understandably
must start in the foundation years of every child. According to Mr. Tambogon,
also a reading advocate, this project gives the young learners the opportunity to
gain assisted cognitive development, develop
empathy, gain deeper understanding and build stronger relationships.
Parents
were grateful to receive the materials for their children. According to the
parents, “The school’s reading advocacy has given us valuable
insights into what a community-based approach to early literacy can look like.
And the feedback so far from our kids had been jumping-up-and-down-excited, and
a slightly calmer but equally enthusiastic reaction from adults.”
More advocacy activities are lined-up
for the holistic development of learners and to achieve quality education to
all learners!
