READING PROGRAM for Frustration and Instructional Readers
ACTION PLAN
SY 2020-2021

Rationale

In support to the call of producing productive and responsible citizen equipped with essential competencies and skills for lifelong learning, the
Schools Division Office of Digos City actively responds to this goal by strengthening the reading program which aims to make every learner a proficient
reader.
However, despite the concerted efforts, the reading program initiatives are still not enough to make all learners a reader at their level. As revealed
in the latest overall division assessment, 30.74% belongs to frustration level and 37% belongs to instructional level. In order to address the gap, there is a
need to increase the reading proficiency of every leaner.

As we experience the COVID 19 pandemic, we are challenged to widen our learning modality. To include online or virtual modality is necessary
and a must. In order for learners to be able to access and explore virtual learning resources he or she expected to be an independent readers or at least an
instructional reader.

This plan will guide the schools in helping learners to become instructional or independent readers to prepare them for productive academic
learning and engagement.
