National Reading Month at PINANAPATAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A November 2, 2011 press release from the Department of Education In its thrust to promote the love for reading, the Department of Education declares November 2011 as National Reading Month which will culminate with the “Araw ng Pagbasa” on November 25, 2011. Education Secretary Armin Luisto said the move is in support of the ten-point education agenda of the Aquino Administration and the promotion of Every Child a Reader Program (ECARP). “We are coming up with more creative ways of developing the love for reading among our young because this is an important portal to the world of learning,” added Luistro. The education department has listed down a series of activities to celebrate the month as stipulated in DepEd Order 244. During the National Reading Month, DepEd enjoins schools to conduct Read-A-Thon to foster a reading culture among pupils and launch a search for the best individual and team readers from students in public schools. Also being promoted is the Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) project, a 15-to-20-minute daily activity devoted to reading a book or any reading materials available in the school. There is also the Shared Reading project (Big Brother or Sister / Kaklase Ko, Sagot Ko), an activity wherein older students or independent readers teach pupils who are at the frustration reading or non-reading level.
