I. INTRODUCTION
We can say that reading is one of the very important elements of education.
Understanding what we are reading is key and is certainly the main point of teaching
reading in a class. According to the authors of the English Expressway Book, "Read-
ing is fundamental to functioning in today's society. It is a vital skill in finding a good
job and is important because it develops one's mind." It is a magical thought to be-
lieve Janet Emig's (1983) viewpoint on teaching that "The pupils learn because we
teach" and one of the important skills that needs to be developed in children is read-
ing. It can open up new worlds and enrich lives.
Reading is a multifaceted process that develops only with practice. There are
certain aspects of reading, such as fluency and word recognition, which can be
learned in a few years. These basics must be mastered, but at the same time, reading
comprehension should be emphasized in the process. Students can parrot words on a
page all day long, but if they don’t have the necessary comprehension skills, they will
not be able to make predictions about what will happen next, monitor their under-
standing of content, sequence, or characters, clarify confusing parts of the text, or
connect what they’re reading to their own experience or prior knowledge. And that is
what true comprehension is all about. 
Reading makes up twenty-five percent of a totally macro skilled person, the
other seventy-five being writing, listening, and speaking. As an activity, reading is
considered to be one of the most fascinating and enriching things man has discov-
ered. Reading intervention is a program, supplementary to an existing literacy cur-
riculum, that is provided to students for the primary purpose of increasing reading
levels. Such programs can be administered both in and out of the traditional class-
room environment. 
The principal elements that make teaching and learning possible and attainable
are the teachers, the learners, and a conducive learning environment. The teacher
serves as the prime mover of the educational wheel. The learners are the key partici-
pants in the learning process. The favorable environment provides essential features
and ingredients that could make headway in guiding the processes and methodologies
needed for a smooth linkage among the three.
Everyone understands the importance of reading, but have you ever consid-
ered why? Reading exposes you to new things, new information, new ways of solv-

ing problems, and new ways of accomplishing a goal. You gain a better understand-
ing of the world. You have gained a deeper grasp of a topic that interests you, such as
how to create confidence, make preparations before acting, improve your memory,
and so on. The more you read, the clearer one thing becomes. When you read, you
are gaining access to someone else's expertise and experience. Reading helps you lay
a stronger basis for communication. You cannot connect with the world and what
people are talking about if you do not read, which includes knowing what this post is
about. Reading makes you feel more connected to the world.
Moreover, the five macro-skills in communication are the most important
skills in teaching a particular language. Each of them is indispensable in the learning
process and teaching performance on behalf of the learners and mentors. These skills
such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing will use as the main vehicle
to obtain definitely a certain language and to serve as a channel to encompass widely
the interrelated realms of communication and global community.
English language proficiency is about having the knowledge and skills within
the form and function of the English language to be able to properly conduct oneself
in whatever form (i.e. speech or written) that is either presented or is being used by
the person in question.
Therefore, this remedial instruction program in English through Project
H.O.P.E. (Home-Based Learning on Oral Reading through Distance Learning Modal-
ities Program to Enhance Learners’ Reading Skills of RMNationalians) is formulated
to address the different difficulties and struggles of the students in the English profi-
ciency skills, namely: correct usage; vocabulary development; reading comprehen-
sion; noting details; getting the main idea; making inferences; identifying errors; and
sequencing events. This makes students be better readers while upgrading their read-
ing levels.

II. IMPLEMENTATION / ACTIVITIES / OBSERVATION 

Project H.O.P.E. (Home-Based learning on Oral reading thru distance learning
modalities Program to Enhance learners’ reading skills of RMNationalians) has been
implemented in order to:

1. identify the strengths and weaknesses of the learner in reading;

2. employ direct assistance via different platforms though the help of the com-
munity people, parents, and guardians;
3. establish accuracy and fluency in reading;

4. improve the comprehension skills of the leaners;
5. develop their love for reading; and
6. upgrade the reading comprehension levels of the learners.
Through the guidance and assistance of the school principal, Noel G.
Malsi, the school's reading coordinator, Mr. Edison L. Ramil, intensified the
said program through a 10-week remediation activity.
The activity started from March 1-May 30, 2022 wherein the all grade level
advisers from grade 7- grade 10 were given reading materials which are suited
in the reading level of the learners.
During the implementation of the reading program, the school reading
coordinator have focused his time and energy on students who are under the
frustration level. The ultimate goal is for them to progress to the level of in-
structional or independent reader.
According to observations, every student was overcome with fear and
worry during the first week of implementation. However, as their reading
skills develop, they become more happy and confident. They are gradually im-
proving their ability to respond to queries in a more concrete manner. As they
witness the results of their labor, they build confidence in their capacity to re-
spond to their actions. Their reading comprehension not only exceeded their
expectations; their confidence also clinched a higher degree of self-fulfillment.
The lessons, which include a variety of exercises, were created in con-
junction with relevant and appealing educational materials as well as special
stimulus activities that children choose. The standardized materials used are
delivered to students in grades 7–10.
Their reading comprehension is now better than when they first started
the reading program, based on the results of the activities.
III. SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

IV. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

Summary:
During the implementation of reading program, the lessons and skills learned
were simply astonishing. These gestures have taught the reading teachers on how to
handle and alter various personalities and characters to our students' cognitive levels.
We could argue that while dealing with learners who are frustrated, I should be more
committed and patient beyond anyone's expectations. These students do, in fact,
require more attention than we realize.

Conclusion:
All the experiences gained by teaching the reading program were extremely
beneficial to the reading teachers' personal and social development as educators.
To treat students fairly, one must cultivate a healthy personality and strengthen
the positive relationship already created with them. The presentation of the lessons
can readily attract the students' attention by employing visual aids, audio-visual aids,
and other learning activity sheets.
Students feel welcome to grow and learn when teachers teach with a smile and
build a good rapport with them. As a result, encouraging learners to participate in
reading activities makes them more self-sufficient in achieving their objectives thus
resulting positive outcomes.
From all the experiences derived through Project HOPE, we can conclude that
these experiences played a great help to the reading teachers both personal and social
development in teaching. To have fair treatment with learners, one can develop a
wholesome personality and strength the good relationship being established with
them.
At the end of the remedial program, not all learners might be independent
readers but we planned to include them in the next reading program for the following
school year.
