I. Executive Summary

From the first day of kindergarten to first grade, children go through an

extraordinary transformation as readers. If all goes well, children at the end of first
grade know the sounds of all letters and can form them into words, know the most
common sight words, and can read and comprehend texts. The K-1 period is distinct
from other stages of reading development because during this stage, children are
learning all the basic skills of turning print into meaning. From second grade on,
children build fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary for reading ever more
complex text in many genres.
Success in beginning reading is a key prerequisite for success in reading in
the later years. Longitudinal studies (Juel,1988) have shown that children with poor
reading skills at first grade are unlikely to catch up later on, and are likely to have
difficulties throughout their schooling. It is in the early elementary grades where the
gap in performance between children appears, and this gap is perhaps the most
important policy issue in education.
Young learners across the country and even all over the world have suffered
‘alarming’ drops in reading skills during the pandemic. Our school, Tortosa
Integrated School, which is not spared from experiencing this reading dilemma
based from the result of BOSY CRLA given to grades 1-3 learners and the Phil-IRI
Result of our school last school year 2021-2022.
Thus, instilling a love of reading early gives a child a head start on expanding
their vocabulary and building independence. It helps children learn to make sense
not only of the world around them but building social-emotional skills and of
imagination.

II. Significant Accomplishments

A. Project/Work/Number of Strategies/Activities Accomplished

We dream for a future where all children in Tortosa Elementary are healthy,
sound-minded and have the reading skills necessary to reach their full potentials.
We fundamentally believe that the ability to read transforms lives and
changes outcomes for children and communities. We want every TISian child
to experience the joy and power of becoming a lifelong reader, and we are focused
on this vocation!

The “RED Café”, the reading program of Tortosa Integrated School has
evolved through the years. We now have a permanent room to cater the learning
and nutritional needs of children who visit the café everyday to learn to read and
read to learn. And we have now more stakeholders who donate milk for the children
of our school.

Above pictures show the permanent location of our Reading Café for School
Year 2023-2024. This will now cater more children who are very eager to read
during their vacant time like recess and after lunch.
