Abstract

Literacy skills are fundamental to academic growth, and issues with these skills can hinder learners’ ability to learn in different subjects or areas later in life. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Read Like Me program for struggling readers in Grade 3. The researchers selected 11 participants from Sumapang Bata Elementary School using a quantitative quasi-experimental design through purposive sampling. Pre-intervention, students faced challenges in word reading and comprehension, primarily at the frustration level. Post-intervention improvements were evident, with fewer students experiencing frustration and more reaching instructional levels. Pairing t-tests confirmed significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores, with a significant level of less than 0.05. The Read Like Me program had a positive impact on word reading and comprehension. This study emphasizes the efficacy of the Read Like Me program in enhancing literacy skills among Grade 3 students.
