ABSTRACT

— — This action research evaluates the effectiveness of the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP) in addressing the significant number of non-readers among Grades 1, 2, and 3 learners at Compostela Central Elementary School SPED Center (CCES-SC). Initial assessments revealed that many learners in these grade levels struggled with foundational reading skills, with a substantial number classified as non-readers. To address this issue, targeted interventions under the NLRP, such as individualized reading sessions, peer-assisted learning, and teacher-guided activities, were implemented during an 8-week summer program. Using a mixed-methods approach involving pre- and post-intervention assessments and teacher observations, the study assessed improvements in reading fluency and comprehension. The findings indicate significant progress in reading skills among the learners, providing insights into the program’s impact and offering recommendations for enhancing literacy recovery efforts in similar educational contexts.
