assessment conducted by the OECD for 8-year-old learners. In the 2022 moreover,

participating countries and economies in reading. The average reading score for the
Philippines, at 340 points, matched that of the Dominican Republic, with no country
performing worse than these two. In mathematics and science, Filipino students scored

GMA's "I WITNESS" series, not only highlighted the prevalence of reading difficulties
among students but also delved into the root causes and potential solutions. By featuring
real-life stories and experiences, the documentary served as a poignant reminder of the

Additionally, the acquisition of sight words and high-frequency words is crucial for
As stated by Tindal et al., (2016); Rasinski, (2014) Oral reading fluency is crucial
for comprehension, as it enables readers to read aloud with speed, accuracy, and
prosody. Lack of oral fluency can lead to comprehension issues, emphasizing the
importance of developing fluency skills early in education (DiSalle & Rasinski, 2017).
Various literacy strategies, such as Read-Aloud and Graphic Organizers, have been
employed to improve reading skills among students (Echaure & Torno, 2017).
Additionally, approaches like Marungko and the Care for the Non-Readers Program
have shown promise in addressing reading issues among at-risk readers (Carmela,

of initiatives aimed at enhancing and writing abilities in the country (Davis et al.,2016).

using specific teacher-guided strategies and resources. The process aims to improve
reading comprehension, fluency, and decoding skills among students who struggle with
reading. The implications of such remediation efforts include potentially higher reading
