Reading Remediation Program for Struggling Readers: An Impact Study

Abstract

One of the most important aspects of education is reading, which is essential to progress in a literate society. It is important then to speed up reading through reading programs. Reading remediation is a supplemental reading program that focuses on correct phonological processes. The study established the value of reading remediation as a tool for helping struggling readers in grade 2 to learn more effectively. In particular, it sought to ascertain how the program had affected a child's reading ability before and after its implementation. The experimental pretest-posttest research design was used for this investigation. Microsoft Excel was utilized to simplify the statistical computation of the data. Results showed that the respondents' performance ratings in the pretest were poor, but they were good in the post-test, indicating that there is an improvement in performance after giving struggling readers reading remediation. Therefore, the Reading Remediation is a useful tool for improving learning for the struggling grade 2 readers of Sevilla Elementary School.
