READING COMPREHENSION

SELECTION I
Jean Piaget, the word famous Swiss Development psychologist and
epistemologist is the researcher who has done most for our understanding of
childrens thinking. His work and research suggests that the ability to think
develops in several noticeable stages. All children go through these stages in
the same fixed order but not everyone moves through the stage at the same
time. Also, depending upon a childs exposure and life experience, some
children may think in one stage in certain situations and think in a different
stage for other things.
Elementary school teachers in multi-grade classroom work with
children who are in the broad overlapping stages.Intuitive though from 4 to 7
years old; concrete operations, from about 7 to 12 years old; formal
operation, from about 12 years on.
Intuitive thought describes how four to seven years old operate
mentally, they typically use their sense impressions or intuition earlier than
logic in forming judgements. They also find it hard to remember more than
one thing at a time.
Concrete operational children, on the other hand can do much logical
thinking. Their handicap is that the ideas they consider must be tried to
concrete materials they can manipulate. Or, at the very least, they must
have such first-hand experience with the materials to think about them.
In the stage of formal operations, children are able to think much more
abstractly, there is far less need to refer to concrete objects. With experience
similar to adults, they can handle formal logic, that, is the use of the same
mental operational as adults.

c. The development of their brain power is fixed at birth
d. The role of experience and active learning is critical in generating
growth and change.
SELECTION II
The role of the teacher has also evolved over time depending upon
what is already known or understood about children. The description of the
learner has certain implication for the role of the teacher in the classroom.
In the past, when childrens minds used to be perceived as blank
slates or empty cups which would be filled up by the environment
(consisting of people, events and places surrounding the child) with
knowledge, the role of the teacher knowledge.As such the teacher was often
more concerned about what the needs. The focus was more on the
knowledge, the content of the curriculum rather than the learners
themselves.

But, this is out dated thinking. It has long shown through research that
childrens minds are not like empty cups or blank pieces of paper to be filled
up with knowledge by the adults around him or her. Instead children learn
from experience and they are active constructors or builders of knowledge.
They are not passive recipients of information. They process the information
that they receive from their environment through different sources and
means; then they try to understand this using this skills and abilities that are
on hand at a particular age or stage of development.

and various regional and divisional offices, the Department of Education had
identified five key performance indicators by which to track the progress of
student achievement from grade I to II. These indicators are non-readers
(NRs), non-numerates (NNs), mean percentage scores (MPS), teacher
effectiveness (TE) and school head effectiveness (SHE).

The NR and the NN indicators show the level of pupil learning through
their mastery of basic reading and numeracy skills, measured by the MPS.
The TE, on the other hand, shows the effectiveness of school administrators
or heads in instructional leadership and administrative management.
TEEP (Third Elementary Education Project) defines non-readers in
Grade I as pupils who cannot orally read a text, based on the beginners book
in English and in Filipino, while non-readers in Grade II and III are those who
cannot orally read with comprehension, based on the standard text for the
specific grade in English and Filipino
On the other hand, Grade I non-numerates cannot add two or these
one-digit numbers which sum up to 18 and cannot subtract one to two digit
without from two to three digit numbers with minuends up to 900, with and
numbers which sum up 9,000 and cannot subtract two to three digit numbers
up to four addends which sum up to 900,000 and cannot subtract three to
five digit numbers from four to six digit numbers with minuends up to
900,000, with and without regrouping.

advocacy challenges in their jurisdiction. They mobilized their
stakeholders to support the implementation of school based
management, revitalizing school advisory councils or committees to

For the purpose of business policy from the viewpoint of top
management, the environment of a firm includes a wide range of cultural
political and economic factors. Outside the firm, they serve as a combination
of constraints and opportunities. Within the system of the firm environmental
factors impinge as constraints or strength, weaknesses or capabilities. In the

fully understand and take into account these external and internal effects of
the environment, or the goals will not be realistic

strategic plan to achieve these goals. This plan is basically a strategy for

now, and to comprehend where the firm stands in relation to its
environment, before the planning process can begin

usually outside the influence of the firm. But changes must also take
place inside the firm in the financial structure, in the physical plan, in
the capability of management, in the capability of the workers, etc.
these changesare within the control of top management and must be
planned in relation to the changes in the external environment and in

SELECTION VI
It is through the sense of touch that the visually impaired child gets
concrete and exact knowledge of the world around him. Only by feeling and
tactually exploring objects can a child get realistic information about their
shape, size, weight, hardness, surface, qualities, and temperature. If a child
hears a description of a dog but never touches tactually explores a dog, he
may not have an accurate idea of what a dog is like. He will know where the
dogs head and tail are located, how the fur feels like and the dogs size and
shape. As he touches more dogs he will develop even a better idea of what a
dog looks like. He will not only be able to find ways that all dogs are similar
but also ways that they are different.
While a child is still a baby, he should start tactually exploring the
world around him. Parent must encourage their child to feel different objects
around the home. This early tactual exploration not only provides the child
with concrete information about the world, but is also the first step in
teaching the child to use his hands, to explore objects tactually, to increase
finger movements, and to understand basic concepts such as size and
weight.
