Why Reading is Important to DepEd?
“Ito ang pinakauna natin dapat gawin, kasi we can never pursue quality education if the kids do not know how to read. This is the basic tool for lifelong learning. We will never expect a Filipino or any human being to continue to learn without actually being equipped with the fundamental reading skill,” Usec. San Antonio explained.
“Ayusin na muna natin ang pagbabasa ng ating mga mag-aaral and the rest will follow,” San Antonio added. (Source: ‘Bawat Bata Bumabasa’ a priority in DepEd’s quest for quality education)

What is Reading?
Word recognition is a step in the reading process that helps understanding grow. Reading is a process that, according to research, involves the reader and the text negotiating meaning. There are three steps in the reading process.
- Pre-reading is the first step, which enables the reader to use prior information, get a sneak peek at the text, and establish reading goals. Students might use the technique of looking at the selection’s title and making a list of all the details that come to mind about it during this step.
- During the second stage of reading, the reader makes predictions as they go along and then confirms or modifies them. A double-entry diary, for instance, enables the reader to record the text from the reading on one side and their personal reaction on the other side.
- After reading, the final phase allows the reader to reflect on the story, talk about its components, respond to inquiries, and/or compare it to other texts. For a clearer understanding, students can write summaries in which they take a large selection and distill it down to its essential elements.
- Before, during, and after reading a particular work of literature, a person engages in a deliberate, active, and engaged process called comprehension.
