EVERY CHILD A READER PROGRAM
The Three O’Clock Reading Habit” is a program designed for the grade three pupils this school year 2020-2021. This program supports DepEd’s thrust that every Filipino child becomes a reader as stipulated in the Every Child A Reader Program (ECARP). Furthermore, this program aims to improve the reading and comprehension skills among the grade three pupils and develop their love for reading.
Everyday, pupils read short stories which teachers provide through the messenger group chat or google forms. The latter are instructed to read the stories/texts carefully and then answer questions about the story every three o’clock in the afternoon. However, if they are not available at this given time, they are encouraged to do their reading activities anytime of the day. What is important is for the children not to miss the daily reading exercise. Teachers monitor children’s activity everyday and encourage those who miss to do the three o’clock reading habit regularly.
