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.

Digital Tools in Teaching Reading: Case on Reading Teachers in Cordova, Cebu Rassie Grace A. Degamo, et al. Cordova Public College, Cebu Philippines rassiegracedegamo762@gmail.com/09932155337 This study focused on how Grade 1 teachers utilized digital tools for teaching reading in Cordova, Cebu. Particularly, it identified the digital tools being employed, the level of integration of digital tools in reading teaching, the teacher's perception of the role of digital tools from reading instruction, and the challenges of using digital tools they've encountered. A structural survey questionnaire was utilized to collect the data from 24 respondents of Grade 1 teachers. The results were analyzed using frequency counts, weighted mean, and standard deviation. Based on the findings, the commonly used of digital tools is Microsoft PowerPoint. It indicates the preference for accessible and multi- based resources. The level of integration of digital tools in teaching reading was found with an overall mean interpreted as "strongly agree." It suggested that teachers actively integrate digital tools into their reading instruction. Also, teachers demonstrated a positive perception of the role of using digital tools. It recognized the effectiveness of reading lessons makes engaging and enhancing reading instruction. Regardless of that, the results were indicated that teachers face several challenges in using digital tools such as limited access to devices, unstable internet connection, and technical issues. Despite these challenges, teachers continue to adapt and utilized different teaching strategies to implement digital tools effectively in their classrooms. To be conclude, this study assumed that digital tools play a significant role in enhancing teaching reading. These findings may serve as a foundation for enhancing the integration of digital tools in elementary reading education with the local context.

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.

This study explored the oral assessment strategies used by 30 ESL teachers in Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City during the school year 2025-2026. Researchers used a convergent mixed-methods design based on Communicative Language Teaching and Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory. Data were gathered using custom surveys, interviews and direct observations. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results showed that teachers adapted communicative and interactive methods of assessment to the level of proficiency of the students. Teachers concentrated on reading-aloud and question-and-answer activities for beginners. Intermediate learners were assessed by guided conversations and sharing of experiences, while advanced learners were assessed by discussions and complex problem-solving activities. The study recommends that educational institutions continue to support collaborative instructional and assessment practices that are student-centered.

The oPhysics simulator offers an engaging, interactive platform where students can experiment with forces and motion, enhancing their comprehension of inertia, rather than just reading about the concept or observing demonstrations. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the oPhysics Simulator in helping Grade 8 students at Cordova National High School understand Newton’s Law of Inertia during the 2024 -2025 school year. A quasi-experimental research design was used, applying a pre-test and post-test one- group design to assess students’ knowledge before and after using the simulator. The results showed that the simulator significantly improved students’ understanding of Newton's Law of Inertia, helping them connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications. The oPhysics simulator also demonstrated satisfactory levels of acceptability in both visual appeal and content relevance, though there is room for improvement. Based on these findings, the study concluded that the oPhysics Simulator is an effective tool for teaching Newton’s Law of Inertia, offering an engaging, technology -driven approach that enhances comprehension and retention. Recommendations include improving visual elements, allowing exploration of heavier objects, and adding real-life videos and hands- on experiments.
