NARRATIVE REPORT ON NATIONAL READING MONTH 2021
“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want
to take all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see.” -John
Burroughs
True enough one of the things that can make one’s life worth living is by doing
those things that can make him/her happy and one of those things that will surely
enrich his/her lines is by READING. That is the reason why, Nov. 26, 2021 marked
the date for the National Reading Month with the theme, “Bawat Bata Bumabasa sa
Kabila ng Hamon ng Pandemya”.
The Department of Education was spearheaded the nationwide celebration of
the 2021 Pambansang Buwan at Araw ng Pagbasa last November to promote love
for reading among learners. This year’s theme is Bawat bata Bumabasa sa Kabila
ng Hamon ng Pandemya. All schools and learning centers were enjoined to have
virtual activities for elementary and secondary. The virtual kick-off was held last Nov.
8, 2021 that was featured by a mystery reading ambassador and it was livestreamed
via DepEd Philippines Facebook Page.
The Bureau of Learning Delivery, in collaboration with partners in MS Teams
was conducted a virtual capacity building for teachers and parents as part of the
virtual kick-off last Nov. 8. The storytelling was focused on the techniques that
teachers and parents may use to keep learners interested in stories and help them
improve comprehension of the stories. Story book writers and professional
storytellers was also invited as resource persons of the activity.
The Last Nov. 26, at exactly 9:00 in the morning the school conducted “Araw
ng Pagbasa”. All learners are participated in the synchronous reading. Every
students during our synchronous class used different book and read interesting
stories that the learners will surely love. The students truly enjoyed the role they
played according to its characters. They showed varied emotions as we went
through the different adventures that each character undertook.
The teacher allowed selected learners to read some lines in the story and be able to
retell on their own understanding. After the storytelling, the teacher raised HOTs
questions in order to measure student’s comprehension.
Indeed, reading of book specially storytelling is a great help to enhance
reading proficiency level of our learners.
