Keywords:
Reading, Program, Samar State Polytechnic CollegeAbstract
This study employed the activity analysis type of descriptive method of research where the details of an activity were recorded, analyzed and interpreted. Two standardized tests were used: the Gray Oral Reading test, and the Gates Reading Survey test. One hundred students from the first and second year high school of SSPC for school year 1989-1990 were chosen as samples through purposive sampling. For the findings of the study, based on the tables and data presented, it has been established in this study that the male and female 1989-1990 first year high school students of SSPC have oral reading difficulties on addition, gross mispronunciation, partial mispronunciation and substitution; while the sophomores male and female have oral reading difficulties on gross mispronunciation, partial mispronunciation, and substitution. A developmental reading program is suitable to the SSPC first and second year high school students to cater to the different reading grade levels in the class but remediation program was also designed to cater to those who possess very low reading grade levels in comparison with the grade levels of the majority of the class. For the conclusion, the 1989-1990 SSPC secondary freshmen male and female students have their respective oral reading difficulties on addition, gross mispronunciation, partial mispronunciation and substitution; while the sophomores male and female students have their respective oral reading difficulties on gross mispronunciation, partial mispronunciation, and substitution. For the recommendation, there should be special reading teachers to handle the developmental and remedial classes.
