The Philippines faces challenges in reading comprehension, as evidenced by its frequent placement among the bottom 10 countries in international assessments. In the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) during 2022, the Philippines ranked 76th out of 81 nations, representing a modest improvement over its 2018 position. Nearly 91% of Filipino 10-year-olds have difficulty with reading comprehension, according to recent studies. This study investigated how non-tutors implemented the Phil- IRI program in their classrooms and the strategies they used to support struggling readers. A mixed-methods approach was undertaken, merging qualitative interviews with teachers about their experiences and quantitative analysis of student reading outcomes through statistical techniques. Results indicate that non-tutor instructors in the Cordova District expressed highly positive professional perceptions of Phil-IRI implementation, reflected by an Average Weighted Mean of 3.35 (Strongly Agree). To assist frustrated readers at their schools, activities primarily involved one-on-one or peer tutoring. The findings suggest that, to reduce student anxiety and encourage regular home-school communication, teachers can apply engaging, information-driven strategies such as gamifying daily exercises with word games and context-clue challenges. Moreover, school administrators and parents are encouraged to actively support, address the needs of, and guide frustrated learners.
