A professional development workshop was held for kindergarten teachers with the goal of enhancing early literacy instruction through the use of Filipino leveled books. The event provided educators with tools and strategies to support young learners in developing reading skills in Filipino, which plays a key role in building a strong educational foundation.
Facilitated by literacy experts, the workshop emphasized the importance of leveled books in young children’s language development. Teachers were trained to assess students’ reading levels, choose appropriate books for individual needs, and implement effective reading strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles.
The use of Filipino leveled books allows for personalized learning, enabling students to progress at their own pace. Teachers were taught how to integrate these resources to create an engaging and inclusive classroom environment.
The session included hands-on activities, role-playing, and group discussions focused on practical application in the classroom. Teachers shared insights on incorporating leveled books into daily lessons, emphasizing the development of language comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary.
The workshop underscored the need for culturally relevant and accessible reading materials, particularly for Filipino language learners. Educators left the session with the tools and knowledge to promote a love of reading and literacy in their students.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve literacy outcomes for young learners by investing in teacher training and providing effective resources. The goal is to establish a strong foundation for Filipino literacy, supporting students’ long-term academic success.
