Evaluation of Reading Intervention Programs at Claver National High School

Claver National High School implemented two reading intervention programs, PROJECT B.E.A.R and ARANGKADA PAGBASA, during the academic years 2022-2024. Prior to these interventions, the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) pretest revealed that a substantial number of students were struggling with reading.

Following the implementation of both programs, post-intervention results demonstrated a significant improvement in the reading skills of the participating students. This positive outcome indicates the effectiveness of both PROJECT B.E.A.R and ARANGKADA PAGBASA in enhancing literacy among high school students.

The study underscores the critical role of collaborative efforts from various stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and the local government unit (L.G.U.), in successfully addressing and overcoming reading difficulties among students. These partnerships are essential for sustained improvements in literacy.

A comparative analysis of the two reading programs provided valuable insights into effective strategies for improving literacy, particularly for high school students. This comparison can guide future educational interventions and policy-making.
