Reading proficiency, Grade One pupils, Remediation and Enrichment program, Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA)Abstract
This study assessed the reading proficiency of 141 Grade One pupils in the South District of Guihulngan City Division, Negros Oriental, during the 2016-2017 school year to develop a proposed Remediation and Enrichment reading program. The study employed a descriptive research design using the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) as the data collection tool. Pupils were classified by age, sex, average family monthly income, and distance of school from home. Analysis utilized Frequency Count, Percentage Scoring, Weighted Mean formula, and Z-test. Results indicated significant correlations between reading proficiency and age, sex, and family income, while distance from school negatively impacted most areas of reading proficiency except listening comprehension. This suggests a need for targeted interventions to enhance reading skills, particularly in disadvantaged geographic contexts.
