The Department of Education has fully implemented the MATATAG Curriculum and introduced revised, streamlined competencies for Grade 1. Based on the K to 12 Program, the updated curriculum strengthens foundational skills in reading, writing, numeracy, and values education. Because of these changes, teachers must refresh and improve existing teaching resources, including the Daily Lesson Log (DLL). Revising the DLL ensures full alignment with the new curriculum. This page provides what you need most. As you see, the Grade 1 Daily Lesson Log (DLL) for Quarter 3 of School Year 2025–2026 is aligned with the MATATAG Curriculum.
The Daily Lesson Logs provided here are personally crafted by teachers whose expertise in each Grade 1 subject area is highly commendable. They apply flexible teaching methodologies suitable for a diverse group of learners. The DLLs we offer are the latest in terms of layout and composition, aligned with the implementing guidelines of the Matatag Curriculum. For example, the Daily Lesson Log includes the Pre-lesson, Lesson Proper, and Post-lesson components. You can also be assured that the competencies used are derived from the revised curriculum.
Overview of the Grade 1 MATATAG Curriculum
The Department of Education included the Grade 1 MATATAG Curriculum as part of its restructured K to 12 program. Secretary Sara Duterte conducted in-depth inquiries and revealed that the original Grade 1 Curriculum under the K to 12 program. The findings indicate that the Grade 1 curriculum overloads students and neglects the development of basic learning skills. The Department initiated the transition to the new curriculum in School Year 2024–2025. Then, we plan to fully implement the Matatag Curriculum this year.
The notable changes brought by the Matatag Curriculum in Grade 1 include the complete removal of the Mother Tongue subject. Also, MAPEH or Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health has emerged as one of the remaining subject areas. Furthermore, the DepEd has enhanced and renamed Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao to Good Moral and Right Conduct, similar to the subject offered in the 1990s. They have also renamed Araling Panlipunan to Makabansa to promote national identity and patriotism among learners.
Additionally, they have removed and restructured the two language subjects, Filipino and English, to focus solely on learning foundational skills. The department has merged these subjects under a new subject called Language, while students learn to apply these skills practically in Reading and Literacy.

Importance of Daily Lesson Logs (DLL)
The Daily Lesson Log (DLL) is a crucial part of the teaching-learning process, serving as a structured planning tool. Through this tool, teachers can reflect on the expected outcomes of their interactions with learners. The teachers must craft their DLL to align and create classroom activities that address the curriculum standards. It is a way for the school to ensure learning effectiveness and organizational consistency.
The key roles of the DLL in the teaching-learning process include instructional planning, consistency, and innovation. Also, it is a tool for classroom management and time efficiency in facilitating the learning process.
