The Department of Education (DepEd) has included the nine schools divisions in Southern Mindanao or Region 11 in the agency’s P21,034,000 support financial assistance to its intensified reading program for elementary school children for School Year (SY) 2011-2012. | |||
This was learned from DepEd Order No. 70, Series of 2011, issued by Education Secretary Armin A. Luistro that was received here recently by DepEd Region-11 Director Susana Teresa Estigoy. | |||
Estigoy said Southern Mindanao is the only region in the country’s second biggest island region, which was included under the DepEd fund aid for reading program that also involved six regions in Luzon, and a region in the Visayas. | |||
The fund allocation, Estigoy said, is earmarked to strengthen the implementation of DepEd’s “Every Child A Reader Program” (ECARP), particularly on its three major components. | |||
These components are Reading Recovery (RR), administration of the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI), and development of the Philippine World Lists in English (PWLE) for first, second, and third grade pupils in Region-11’s nine schools divisions. | |||
Estigoy said Region-11 is composed of the schools divisions of '''Davao City''', '''Davao del Sur''', '''Tagum City''', Compostela Valley, '''Digos City''', '''Davao Oriental''', '''Davao del Norte''', and the Island Garden City of Samal. | |||
Quoting Luistro’s order, Estigoy said Region-11’s ECARP support fund aid for Reading Recovery will be specifically utilized for setting up Regional Reading Recovery Centers (RRRCs), and refurbishment of existing vacant rooms, expenses on teachers’ training, and for visits to schools of teachers-in-training, monitoring visits relative to the enforcement of RR in the regional level, conducting advocacy activities, management and maintenance of database, and procurement of equipment and story books for school children. | |||
The DepEd chief’s directive, Estigoy said, described the ECARP as a national program designed to make every child an independent reader and writer at the end of Grade-3, even as it provides a year-long training to teachers to make them independent solvers of literacy problems in their respective learning centers. | |||
RR, an early literacy intervention that aims at reducing reading and writing difficulties in schools, gives children, who are beginning to fall behind in reading and writing, a second chance before their problems become complicated. | |||
An assessment component of ECARP, the Phil-IRI is a nationally validated assessment tool for measuring the reading proficiency level of pupils in both English and Filipino Languages, Luistro said, adding that the PWQLE is made up of the most frequently used words in English textbooks from Grades 1 to 3. | |||
As this developed, Estigoy enjoined all elementary school teachers and administrators to effectively implement the ECARP, and to wisely utilize the DepEd financial support in their respective stations to ensure that every learner in the first three grades would benefit from the program. | |||
She also fielded division and regional education supervisors to closely monitor the enforcement of the program. | |||
