This study described the literacy barriers to effective tutoring from the perspectives of ARAL tutors in selected elementary schools in Cordova, Cebu, during the school year 2025–2026, focusing on the challenges encountered in delivering literacy instruction under the ARAL Program. This study employed a descriptive-survey research design using a mixed-method approach, involving a total enumeration of 70 ARAL tutors from San Miguel Elementary School, Pilipog Elementary School, Cogon Elementary School, and Ibabao Elementary School, with data gathered through a validated questionnaire consisting of structured survey items and open-ended questions and analyzed using means, standard deviations, and thematic analysis. The results revealed that the major literacy barriers were poor reading comprehension, limited instructional materials, and insufficient tutoring time, which were consistently experienced by tutors across the selected schools, while additional findings highlighted challenges such as learner absenteeism, lack of interest, and multi-grade level tutoring that further affected instructional effectiveness. Overall, the study showed that these barriers significantly hindered the smooth implementation and effectiveness of the ARAL Program in improving learners’ literacy skills. It concluded that despite the program’s strong objectives, its effectiveness is limited by resource and instructional constraints faced by tutors. It is therefore recommended that the Department of Education and school stakeholders strengthen instructional support, provide adequate learning materials, enhance tutor training, and promote collaborative efforts among teachers, parents, and the community to improve the overall implementation of the ARAL Program.

Nicole Angelic T. Dungog¹ , Sharmaine Eguna² , Aira Cristine Arlalijo³ , Hannah Jean Bongo⁴ & Elysza Kate Cacho⁵ Cordova Public College Gabi, Cordova, Cebu, Philippines Dungognicole11@gmail.com This study evaluated the literacy skills, livelihood skills, usefulness, and relevance of the Skills Development Learning Materials used in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program at the Rotary Club of Mactan Community Learning Center (CLC). Utilizing a descriptive-evaluative research design, the study examined the current learning materials used by ALS learners to determine its level of skills development and to know the perception of learners towards the usefulness and relevance of these learning materials. Data were gathered from ALS learners using a weighted mean and standard deviation (SD) analysis to profile their perceptions and actual skill attainment. The findings revealed that the learning materials yielded an overall average mean of 2.72 (SD = 0.99) for Literacy Skills , which is interpreted as Upper Intermediate . Similarly, Livelihood Skills recorded an overall mean of 2.66 (SD = 0.96) , also falling within the Upper Intermediate range. Regarding the learners' perceptions, the materials garnered an overall mean of 2.82 (SD = 0.92) for Usefulness and 2.74 (SD = 0.93) for Relevance , both interpreted as Effective . The results suggest that while the learning materials successfully facilitates a transition toward complex knowledge application, the variance indicated by the standard deviations highlights a need for more localized and differentiated support. These findings underscore the importance of aligning learning resources with the specific vocational and contextual needs of ALS learners to ensure sustained engagement and higher levels of skill mastery.
