CALABRIA, ELIZA ROCHINA, Valencia City Central School, Valencia City, Bukidnon, November 2021. Parental Assistance in Reading at Home: An Intervention to Increase Reading Proficiency of Pupils.
The main objective of the study is to determine the level of reading the profile of Grade I pupils of the control and experimental groups in the pre and post-reading activity. A descriptive research design was employed to describe the reading performance of pupils in the control and experimental groups through parents’ assistance at home. Research participants of the study were the 15 Grade I-lily pupils in the control group and likewise, the 17 Grade I pupils in the experimental group. Most of the parents in the control group have a monthly income of Php 5 001 to 8 000. Likewise, most of the parents in the experimental group have a monthly income of Php 10 000 and above.
Moreover, most of the parents of the respondents are married and living together and have stability in the family relationship. Furthermore, the percentage of frustrated pupils in the experimental group is higher than in the control group in the pre-reading activity. The group of pupils with parents’ assistance garners a high percentage in independent reading proficiency compared to the pupils whose parents did not commit to assisting their child in the post-reading activity. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between pupils’ reading proficiency to their family’s monthly income. Finally, there is a significant difference in the reading proficiency of the pupils in the experimental group between pre and post-reading activities.
