TITLE:
MECAR Making Every Child AReader
II. DESCRIPTION
Project MECAR is an action plan aimed to develop reading abilities 0f pupils who are very poor in reading particularly in Bagunot Elementary School. Quality
education has remained the priority concern of the Department of Education. To pursue this objective, various approaches, innovations and scheme have been
tried but in spite of all efforts, the expected outputs are still below par.
III. RATIONALE
Reading, activitycharacterized by the translation of symbols, or letters, into words and sentences that have the meaning to the individual. The ultimate
goal of reading is to be able to understand written material,to evaluate it, and to use it for ones needs.
In order to read, one must follow a sequence of characters arranged in particular spatial order.
So the teachers themselves, should be oriented with all these so they can teach effectively, hence the project MECAR was conceived to attained their
goals.
IV. OBJECTIVES:

1. To encourage pupils to become a reader,
2. To eradicate the non- readers,
3. To read words with correct pronunciation;
4. To increase the reading speed and vocabulary of pupils;
5. To identify the reading difficulties of the slow readers;
6. To give reading remediation to slow readers .

V. EXPECTED OUTCOMES
1. Pupils learn to love and have the interest in reading.
2. Increase word recognition.
3. Increase of readers in the school
VI. READING READINESS
The earliest stage, readiness, encompasses theskills that young children usually acquire before they can profit from formal reading instruction.
Children acquire knowledge of the language and of the letter names; they learn that spoken words are composed of separate sounds and that letters can
represent these sounds. Parents can aid in the process by reading to children, thus acquainting them with the more formal language of books, pointing out
words and letters, and making them aware that words in a book can tell a story or give information. Other readiness skills are acquired through word and
rhyme games. Play with language apparently helps young children focus their attention on the sounds of words as well as on their meanings
VII . IMPROVING READING SKILLS
Word study is one way for the older student to improve reading ability. This involves using a dictionary and thesaurus, studying word parts, and learning how to
find the meaning of a word from the context. Students can also improve their vocabularies by paying conscious attention to any new words they may encounter.
Because a mature reader must have several different reading rates available for different materials and purposes, practice in skimming a passage
for general meaning and scanning for specific information is useful. The development of efficient study strategies is important in learning various kinds of subject
matter.
