ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

This research study investigated the effectiveness of the Guided Reading Strategy as an intervention program aimed at enhancing English reading literacy among Grade 4 learners. The primary objectives included improving reading comprehension, fluency, and word recognition through engaging reading activities. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, data was gathered to evaluate the impact of Guided Reading Strategy on the target student population. The results showed significant improvements in reading skills among the experimental group compared to the control group. The results showed the efficacy of the Guided Reading Strategy in addressing diverse learning needs and fostering literacy skills through structured, supportive, and interactive reading sessions. The study highlights the value of evidence-based strategies, offering valuable insights for educators in adapting instructional practices to cater to diverse learners. The results also suggest a promising trend towards addressing reading proficiency issues among Grade 4 students in Magugpo Pilot Central Elementary School. Based on these encouraging findings, it is strongly recommended to continue and further develop Guided Reading Strategy as it has the potential to significantly contribute to ongoing efforts aimed at improving reading literacy skills in this group. This study contributes important insights for designing and optimizing reading intervention programs, supporting academic success for young learners.
