Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Education - Reading Instruction, grade: Grade four, , language: English, abstract: The project ReFUnd aims to gauge the impact of the program on the participants’ reading comprehension through the use of Activities on Better Reading Comprehension (ABRC) materials. The recipients of the said program are the 84 grade four pupils who were categorized under the frustration level after the Phil-IRI (Philippine Informal Reading Inventory) was conducted. Post test result seems to indicate that the participants’ reading comprehension level improved to instructional level since their scores range between five to seven. Moreover, the t-test computed value suggests that there is a significant difference on the participants’ pre-test and post test results. Hence, with the seemingly successful outcome of the program, S. Elementary School deem to continue the program even without budget allocation from the Department of Education (DepEd). Reading plays a vital role to every individual as it is the key to literacy. Pardo suggests in his study that is important for pupils to acquire decoding skills, fluency skill, background knowledge, vocabulary, motivation, and engagement to develop good comprehension skill. Moreover, Dougherty-Stahl suggests that effective reading comprehension is the culmination of mastering vocabulary, phonics, fluency, and reading comprehension skills.
