Using Marungko Approach in Beginning Reading

The document discusses using the Marungko Approach for beginning reading instruction in Grade 1. The Marungko Approach aims to equip Grade 1 pupils with necessary reading skills and develop teachers' competence in teaching reading. It starts with letter sounds rather than names, introducing comical stories about each letter's sound. The sequence of letters taught is different from the typical alphabetic order. The Marungko Approach provides materials to successfully teach reading and its letter sequence is similar to that in the K-12 curriculum for Grade 1.

USING MARUNGKO APPROACH IN BEGINNING READING

Beginning reading is important in Grade One. When a learner enters school, it is


the teacher’s role and responsibility to provide, plan and teach effective reading program
that will enable the learner to become a skillful reader.
Ideally, learners will develop their reading skills gradually. Teachers should be
aware of the learner’s reading level from pre-reader, emergent reader, early reader,
developing reader, early fluent reader and independent reader. A number of reading
approaches are available and teachers should provide a rich and varied literacy
environment that includes interested reading material, displays and engaging multimedia
resources that reflect the diversity of the learner’s learning styles and are suited to the
learner’s reading level.
The Marungko Approach is designed to equip Grade One pupils the necessary
reading skills to improve their achievement in reading. Likewise, it seeks to develop
a trainingmodel to enhance teachers’ competence in the teaching of reading in the
primary grades most especially in Grade One. The goal of this strategy in reading is to
enable grade one pupils to instill in their minds to appreciate the songs and poems created
for Filipino children and eventually to communicate in written and oral forms through
effective reading instruction.
The Marungko approach provides materials to the success in teaching reading. It
starts with letter sounds rather than name. Certain comical stories of letter to signify its
sound are being introduced. Instead of the usual arrangement (order) of letters in the
alphabet, it starts with m, s, a, I, o…
The sequence of letters in the MTB-MLE of the K to 12 Curriculum for Grade One
is almost similar to that of the Marungko Approach. Considering that there is no single
reading material available for Grade One pupils, it is of great help to design and craft a
sole reading material for the learners that will serve as a gateway to improve pupil’s
reading skills, thus leading to the betterment of the teaching and learning progression.
