For many years, educators have recognized the importance of fluency in reading. Reading experts concur. Fluency is one of the critical building blocks of reading, according to over 30 years of research, because fluency development is linked to comprehension. This research was anchored on the Department of Education's flagship program, "Every Child A Reader," which aims to make every Filipino child a reader at his or her grade level and is specifically designed to equip elementary students with strategic reading skills to help them become independent young readers. Thus, this study aimed to assess the reading fluency level of the grade 1 pupils of St. Paul University Surigao based on the results of their reading fluency assessment pretest conducted this school year 2021-2022. Results have shown that the majority of the participants are female and are under the category of advanced learners. According to the findings, the most common error committed by the participants is mispronunciation or drop endings, while skipped words and omission are the least common errors. Findings revealed that there is no significant difference between the variables mispronunciation or drop endings, skipped words, omissions, substitutions, repeated words, and inserting words that are not in the passage respectively. There is, however, a significant difference between the participants' grades and their reading fluency levels. This means that the reading fluency of the participants varies by grade. Based on the finding of the study, it is highly recommended that the necessary intervention be implemented to assist those students that belong to the instructional level, particularly the frustration level. As a result, teachers will incorporate fluency programs that could help students improve not only in reading but also in other subjects. |
