      Bangao NHS supports "Every child a Reader Program"  which aims to make every Filipino Child a Reader and a writer at his /her grade level.

      In response to the demand of helping the students achieve the aim of the Department of Education, there is a need to eliminate the difficulties in the oral and in reading printed materials.  Continuing activities of interventions and remediation geared towards reading are conducted to help students enhance their comprehension and language competencies.  But with the booming of technology this becomes the factor on the failure of students to focus and develop their reading habits. But in today's new normal setting, technology becomes an advantage hence  face-to-face is not yet allowed. Still, teacher needs not to neglect the situation of students and exert more to enable students to   inculcate the love of reading which are vital as they journey in a higher education.  So in-order to cope with the demand of technological and computerized world, teachers should provide students with maximum activities for them to understand the meaning of purposeful reading in term of speed and in comprehension.

Reading is a great habit which students need to develop, yet among the five basic communication skills which are as follows: reading, listening, speaking, viewing and writing- reading is the least given importance. One of the important ways of learning is reading. Thus,   success in school and in life depends in large part of an individual’s ability to read.

1.      Increase the performance of students in word recognition and in comprehension;

2.      Develop among the students the habit of   reading ;

3.      Enable students who are experiencing difficulties in aspects of reading performance to develop in appropriate ways; and
