PTC-CSJ Foundation, in partnership with Synergeia Foundation, successfully implemented the Reading Camp for the second year in four partner-schools in Muntinlupa: Bayanan Elementary School-Main, Lakeview Elementary School, Sucat Elementary School-Main, and Muntinlupa Elementary School.
The program, which ran for 15 days during the 2017 summer vacation, utilized a two-pronged approach of remedial reading and nutritional feeding. This initiative benefitted 462 slow and non-readers from Kinder to Grade 3.
Interactive phonics games help reinforce literacy skills.
Nutritional feeding support accompanies the educational sessions.
To measure improvements, pre- and post-test scores were recorded. Results showed an average score increase from 36% to 83%, demonstrating mastery across seven literacy skills. Notably, Lakeview Integrated School recorded the highest average attendance rate (93%) and the highest increase in Mean Percentage Score, jumping from 22% to 88%.
Daily storytelling sessions cultivate a love for reading among participants.
