Among the 79 participating countries, our country scored the lowest in reading comprehension in
the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). If you were one of the teachers,
what would you do to improve the learners’ reading comprehension?

It is not the only responsibility of teachers to instruct students in the skills of reading, writing,

ON
speaking, and problem-solving. Teaching kids to understand what they are doing and reading is

the most crucial aspect of teaching. By determining whether any of the students have reading

difficulties, building up their self-esteem, offering developmentally suitable materials and

activities, and working with the parents or guardians, I, as the instructor, will assist the students in

improving their reading comprehension.

One of the factors I would take into account is by being aware of the issues causing the

students' difficulties in comprehending what they are reading. As a result, a student who struggles

to comprehend what he or she is doing and reading may exist. Using this information, I can

choose early interventions to support the child in overcoming the challenges. Another method is

to increase their confidence. As a result, some students struggle to speak out in class. By

improving their self-esteem, teachers can help these students improve their knowledge while also

motivating them to express their ideas.

Additionally, giving the kids developmentally appropriate reading, writing, speaking, and

listening materials and activities will help them develop their comprehension abilities. However,

mastering the fundamentals first will serve as a bridge to understanding. Last but not least,

working with parents in a way that entails soliciting their assistance so that while the students are
at home, the parents can aid and instruct them through activities. This extends learning beyond

the classroom and into the home.

Therefore, understanding cannot be imposed on the students; rather, it can only grow

and advance with support. In order to support kids, activities and resources that are appropriate

for their level and requirements must be given to them. Additionally, a stronger connection

should be made between home and school to promote continuous learning.
