The Marungko Approach is designed to equip Grade one pupils the necessary

Materials to improve their achievement in reading. Likewise, it seeks to develop a  training

Model  to enhance teachers’ competence in the teaching of reading in the primary grades

most especially in grade one.

                The goal of this strategy in reading is to enable grade one pupils to instill  in their

Minds to appreciate the songs and poems created for Filipino childrenand eventually to

communicate in  written and oral forms through effective reading instruction.

               The Marungko approach provides materials to the success in teaching reading. Hand

Signs of different letters in the alphabet are being taught in this technique. Letters and sound

of the letters are introduced in songs and poems .Hence, the pupils  would have fun singing

and reciting the poems and at the same time they would be able to recognize or read the

words easily. With this technique, it helped us a lot in achieving a Zero Non-Reader in our

class.
