    ENHANCE READING ENGAGEMENT VIS-À-VIS COMPREHENSION SKILLS THROUGH


    INSTENSIFIED HOME READING PROGAM (HRP) IN THE GRADE 7 LEVEL
    An Action Research

    RATIONALE

    “Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.” —Kofi Annan. Literacy is one of the most
    essential life skills a person should have in order to attain his utmost potential. This
    proficiency encompasses all global advancements and innovations not only in the academe,
    but also in the areas of science and technology, business and economics, and societal
    relations. Consequently, reading is the basic foundation in meeting these global challenges
    and competitiveness. However, 21 st Century learners manifest a lack of engagement and
    motivation to read. Rapidly developing technology and the ubiquity of the Internet have
    changed people’s reading practices, rendering the traditional view of literacy insufficient
    (Hartman, Morsink, & Zheng, 2010).

    This action research aims to identify the gap between teachers’ literary expectations from
    students’ interest in the choice of reading materials. In addition, several strategies and/or
    programs will be executed in English class to determine the most appropriate way to
    achieve a globally competent reading engagement.

    CONTEXT

    This action research will be executed by the Junior High School English Teachers of
    Lourdes School of Mandaluyong. It will involve all Grade 7 pupils: there are three (3)
    regular grade 7 class consisting of an average of 40 pupils and one (1) honors’ class
    consisting of 36 pupils.

    Since it is an all-boys school, generally the students are more inclined with a more technical
    subject areas, such as Science, Math, Electronics, Computer, and Drafting. Reading per se is
    not really given much importance and interest.

    Given this situation, a problem of comprehension and reading engagement arises. For
    instance, they prefer audio-visual learning materials, rather than indulging themselves
    with printed instructional and recreational reading materials. Also, with the advent of
    technology, it is much convenient for them to search and obtain information through the
    internet, compared to going to the library to research references for their lessons; hence,
    comprehension, vocabulary, and note-taking skills are compromised.
    With this current situation, it is high-time that the students find fulfillment and satisfaction
    in reading. So, it is deemed necessary to identify their interests in reading through the use
    of intensified reading strategies/programs.
