Background and Rationale of WAP Plan:
The Workplace Application Project (WAP) under the Teacher Development Program in Transforming Access to Classroom Reading
Practices on addressing the significant challenges in reading competencies identified among learners at Zamora Elementary School, the
post-pandemic learning recovery has revealed significant deficits in foundational literacy skills. The results from diagnostic tests such as
the Phil-IRI and school-based oral reading assessments highlight that many learners, particularly in Grade 2 to 6, struggle with reading
comprehension and higher-order reading skills. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions in teaching
reading strategies and practices.
Teachers also face challenges in applying differentiated reading strategies that cater to diverse learner needs. Recognizing this gap, the
WAP aligns with the goals of project PIT (Stretch and read, Teamwork, Active reading, Reflect on health, Telling stories) to improve
reading outcomes through evidence-based interventions and professional development.
This program enables teachers to conduct action research and implement innovative classroom reading practices contributing to
a compendium of effective strategies for improving literacy across the division.

Type of Intervention: WAP Implementation
The WAP will address reading competency gaps by requiring participants, specifically reading coordinators and teachers, to conduct
action research or implement innovations in reading. This practical application will enable them to develop research-based reading
strategies that can be tested and refined through classroom practice, ultimately enhancing their capacity to address the varied literacy
needs of learners. The action research results will contribute to creating a compendium of effective reading practices, which will serve
as a strategic resource for future literacy interventions in the division.
Application Objective: Back in the workplace, the participants will be able to design and implement action research and/or
innovations that effectively address reading gaps among learners, applying the strategies, methodologies, and assessment tools they
have learned to improve reading outcomes, from pretest to posttest, in their respective schools.
