Abstract:

This study aimed to utilize and explore appropriate enrichment activities to improve the reading skills of learners at Buenavista Quezon. Aspects studied were the profile of the respondents and their teaching experience. It looked into the frequency of use of interaction reading strategies, engaging with literature, developing vocabulary and fluency, utilizing technology, and creating a supportive environment. To accomplish her purpose, the researcher employed a questionnaire to ascertain the demographic profile of the respondents and to evaluate the efficacy of certain elementary teachers in Buenavista in implementing enrichment activity strategies. In Buenavista, Quezon, this comprised 30 teachers from district II. The descriptive design was the main source of data and information. The results showed that most respondents fell within the age range of 25-30 years, comprising both males and females. According to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test, all null hypotheses are accepted, which means that there is no significant difference in the perceived effectiveness of using and applying enrichment activities strategies when the respondents are grouped by profile. Based on the study's results, the following recommendations are suggested. Future researchers may conduct a similar study to improve the effectiveness of enrichment activities strategies used by selected elementary teachers in Buenavista, District II. The recommendations that follow are based on the study's findings: future researchers may conduct a similar study to address some of the inadequacies in the way particular elementary school teachers in Buenavista currently employ enrichment activity strategies.
