Improving Language Competence of Grade Seven Learners through the I-READ Project

Abstract

The Integrative Reading Enhancement and Assessment for Student’s Development (I-READ) Project aims to achieve this by providing students with diverse learning experiences that promote critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. The project’s primary objective is to equip students with essential language skills that will enable them to comprehend, analyze, and communicate effectively. This study utilized a quasi-experimental research design. The researcher prepared reading material and a questionnaire to determine the performance of grade seven learners, who attended Cumba-Quezon Integrated School, in their language competence. The I-READ Project had a significant impact on the reading skills of the learners in the experimental group, as the learners had significant improvement in their reading capabilities. However, the research was conducted solely on grade seven learners, which limits the generalization of the findings to learners of other grades.
