Reading Activities at Home in Developing Reading Skills Among Grade One LearnersDuring the Pandemic
Stephanie Marhen C Abueva | Enerio Ebisa
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
This study aimed to determine if the reading activities of the respondents, such as reading sessions
with parents or family members, available reading resources used for reading, educational shows and
movies, educational computer and cellphone games, and educational videos and nursery rhymes, are
related to their reading skills. The research employed a descriptive correlational design. The
researcher used a Teacher-Made Demographic Profile Test and adapted it to the Early Grade Reading
Assessment, modifying it into four level components known as the Modified Early Grade Reading
Assessment Test, namely letter sound knowledge, familiar word reading, oral passage reading, and
reading comprehension. Thirty-one male and 25 female vaccinated learners from Cabili Village
Elementary School in the North III District participated in the study. The data were analyzed using
frequency and percentage as well as Pearson's correlation coefficient. As a result, reading level,
particularly reading comprehension and oral passage reading had a substantial association with Grade
1 learners' reading activities at home. Meanwhile, letter sound knowledge and familiar word reading
had little correlation with the reading activities of learners in Grade 1 at home.
