Reading key to many possibilities

READING is the key to possibilities for our learners. When they are able to read, they can continue to learn, grow, and eventually, take the necessary steps to improve their lives, as well as those around them.

This is why the Department of Education has not stopped finding ways to improve teacher productivity which will lead to better student performance.

These initiatives get support from various organizations and partners of the Education department, like one of the biggest telecommunications company in the country – Globe.

Globe has actually launched another professional development training for teachers, this time focusing on early language literacy.

The series of webinars – recognized by the DepEd-National Educators Academy of the Philippines, (DepEd-NEAP) – coaches educators to effectively help students develop their communication skills through blended learning.

The training is led by Teach for the Philippines (TFP) under Globe’s Global Filipino Teachers (GFT) program which features webinars that promote 21st century learning and digital resources for teachers.

Among the lessons included in the GFT Early Language Literacy Series are pre-reading skills, introducing sound and print, decoding and sight reading, and planning a reading program – and they all help children build a base for reading through songs, story-telling, conversations, and play.

As the GFT sessions are recognized by DepEd’s NEAP, it is guaranteed that all attendees are able to obtain the vital knowledge and skills.

Globe, meanwhile, continues to support DepEd’s thrust to provide learning continuity among public school students.

They vowed to roll-out programs through various alternative delivery modes and provide teachers and school leaders with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to overcome the challenges posed by an unprecedented school year mired by a global pandemic.
