TRANSCRIPT
Studies have shown that reading and
understanding a simple text is one of the most
fundamental skills a child can learn (Pouezevara et. al,
2014). But determining what language will be used to
teach children is one of the most important decisions
that ministries of education make (Pflefsen, 2011).
This paved way to the introduction of Mother Tongue-
Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) programs in various
contexts around the world. Walter & Chuo (2012) said that in
their research, the outcomes indicate that the use of mother
tongue in the 12 experimental schools resulted in significantly
improved learning outcomes for the students in grades 1 and 2.
For four years , the researcher observed that
reading has been one of the major problems faced by
pupils and teachers.
In response to the Department of Education’s
goal in making every child a reader and a writer, the
researcher conducted this study to determine the
reading level of Grade One- Pumpkin pupils in
Hiligaynon using the Early Grade Reading Assessment,
to identify the difficult component level and to design a
Specialized Reading Workbook.
MTB education is instruction in a child‘s first
language (L1), usually with a planned gradual
transition to a second language (L2) or foreign
language at a specified time in primary school.
MTB instruction usually takes place exclusively in
the language most familiar to children. In some
cases, it may be provided as part of a bilingual or
multilingual education program.
The study aimed to do the following:
1. Determine the pupils’ reading level in
Hiligaynon;
2. Identify the difficult component level; and
3. Design a specialized workbook.

Research Design
The study made use of the descriptive design
which work primarily on the description, analysis and
interpretation of situation in a problem
Locale of the Study
The study was conducted at Osita Elementary
School of South District II in the City Schools Division of
Koronadal. It is located at Osita Subdivision, Barangay
Zone II, City of Koronadal. There is one (1) administrator
and twenty-nine (29) teachers of which three (3) are
Master Teachers, four (4) are Teacher III, five (5) are
Teacher II and the rest are Teacher I.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents were the thirty six (36)
Grade One-Pumpkin pupils.
Research Instrument/ Data Gathering Procedure
Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) is an
oral student assessment designated to measure the
most basic foundation skills for literacy acquisition in the
early grades. In this study, EGRA was conducted to
obtain the necessary data.
The approval of the Principal was sought before
the study was conducted. Right after the go signal, the
researcher personally administered the assessment
Reading Level Mean Percentage
1.Orientation to Print 1.94 64.67%
2.Letter name knowledge 8.97 8.97%
3.a. Letter sound knowledge 6.14 6.14%
3.b. Initial sound recognition 4.36 43.60 %
4.Familiar word reading 3.67 3.67%
5.Invented word decoding 0.58 1.17%
6.a Oral passage reading 1.00 1.54%
6.b.Reading comprehension 0.08 1.39%
The table shows that, 64.67% is in the
Orientation to Print level, 8.97% is in the Letter Name
Knowledge, 6.14% is in the Letter Sound Knowledge,
43.60% is in the Initial Sound Recognition, 3.67 % is in
the Familiar word reading, 1.17 % is in the Invented
Word Decoding, 1.54 % in the Oral Passage reading and
1.39 % in the Reading Comprehension.
However, it is important to note that pupils had
very low average scores. Most of them are only in the
first level, which is the Orientation to print ,thus, failed to
achieve the remaining levels which show that pupils
have difficulty in other component levels.
After determining the reading level of the pupils, it was found
that the difficult component levels are letter name knowledge, letter
sound knowledge, initial sound recognition, familiar word reading,
invented word decoding, oral passage reading and reading
comprehension.
It is therefore concluded that the researcher will design a
specialized reading workbook.
