Development of Remediation Materials: A Tool to Enhance Reading Proficiency of Learners

This one-group pretest-posttest design of the study aimed at determining the reading proficiency of Grade 3 pupils as influenced by reading remediation materials. This study utilized the purposive sampling method wherein a total of 31 learners from Apolinar Franco Sr. Elementary School, Bato, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur during the third quarter period were selected as the research subjects of this study. The research subjects’ reading proficiency was measured by a phonemic awareness screener employed by the researcher. The statistical tools utilized were the mean and Paired Sample T-test. Results revealed that before implementing the remedial reading materials, the level of reading proficiency of the learners needs intervention, which implies that learners struggle with phonemic awareness development. The result showed an improvement in the reading proficiency of the learners afterwards being exposed to the Localized, Guided and Results-Based (LGB) Remediation Materials. The reading proficiency of the learners was found to be at mastery level. Finally, the study revealed that the Localized, Guided and Results-Based (LGB) Remediation Materials improves the reading proficiency of the Grade 3 pupils.
