District: San Jose

I. Context and Rationale

Learning to read, write and count is critical to a child’s success in school and
later in life. One of the best predictors of school success is the level of child’s progress in
these foundational skills. While literacy and numeracy skills increase as children grow, the
formative years, comprises the most important period of language, literacy and numeracy
development.

The Department of Education is strengthening Every Child a Reader Program

(ECARP), through the Early Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program from Kinder to
Grade 3, the first Key Stage of the K to 12 Basic Education Program. This program focuses
on capacitating the kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers and instructional leaders on the basic
knowledge and pedagogical skills in literacy and numeracy skills, per DepEd Order No. 12,
s. 2015. DepEd continues to promote literacy and numeracy of learners through the Brigada
Pagbasa Program.

This pandemic affects greatly the performance of learners in reading

and numeracy. Increased numbers of non-readers and non – numerates were noticed on the
start of full implementation of In-person classes at Benigna Dimatatac Memorial Elementary
School. In the study conducted by Luaña (2021), he enumerated the challenges faced by the
parents in modular distance learning such as poor reading and writing skills of their children,

time constraints due to work and household chores, too many children to attend to, too
difficult lessons and subjects and too many learning activities in the modules.

This research primarily aims to propose intervention in improving the

literacy and numeracy skills of Key Stage 1 learners at Benigna Dimatatac Memorial
Elementary School. The results of this study will serve as guide in the improving or
enhancing the literacy and numeracy skills of Key Stage 1 learners. The findings of this
study will be beneficial to the school administrator since its results may be used as basis for
enhancing the school’s Learning Continuity Plan. Likewise, the present study is beneficial to
the teachers since its findings will help address the needs of learners in improving their
literacy and numeracy skills. Furthermore, this study is beneficial to the learners and parents
since the output will primarily help them to continue improving the literacy and numeracy
abilities even at home.

II. Action Research Questions

Specifically, the researchers would like to answer the following research questions:

1. What are the level of literacy and numeracy skills of Key Stage 1 Learners at Benigna
Dimatatac Memorial Elementary School?

2. What are the hindering factors affecting the improvement of literacy and numeracy skills of
Key Stage 1 learners at Benigna Dimatatac Memorial Elementary School?

3.What are the proposed interventions in improving the literacy and numeracy skills of Key
Stage 1 Learners at Benigna Dimatatac Memorial Elementary School?

III. Proposed Innovation, Intervention and Strategy

Based on the results of the study, the researchers crafted an intervention plan
which is composed of the following parts: objectives, activities/strategies, persons involved,
resources needed and expected output. The objectives focused on the targets/things that
are needed to be solved, achieved and done which are all based on the results of the study.
The enumerated activities and strategies are the things that need to be done in order to
achieve the objectives. Together with man are the money and materials involved/needed in
the conduct of the different activities. The successful conduct of the different activities cited
in the action plan will result to the attainment of expected output

IV. Action Research Methods

a. Participants and/or Other Source of Data and Information

The researchers used purposive sampling method to determine the subject of

the study. The subjects of the study were the 504 Key Stage 1 learners of Benigna
Dimatatac Memorial Elementary School, S.Y. 2022-2023. The results of the Oral Reading
and Numeracy Assessment were also analyzed and interpreted which serve as one of the
bases of the study.

b. Data Gathering Method

This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods of research which

aims to identify the hindering factors that affect improvement of the learners’ literacy and
numeracy skills and proposed activities/strategies for enhancing those skills.
The researchers used survey questionnaire and non-structured interview to gather
data for the study. A focused group discussion was conducted to attain the objectives of the
study.
A survey questionnaire was prepared, validated, distributed, tallied and interpreted to
determine the factors that affect improvement of the learners’ literacy and numeracy skills.
