STEP 7: Salitang Pantulong Let’s get ready to read a story! Know the sight words and high frequency words that you will meet along the way. STEP 6: Sari-Saring Titik Mix and sort the letters, match small and capital print, invent silly-sounding words, or bring out the pictures for some spelling fun!

STEP 1: Kilos at Kanta Effective reading instruction begins with developing strong listening skills. Through action songs and movement-based activities, children are motivated to play with the Filipino language and discover its richness–and it doesn’t stop there! The Alpabasa Program ensures that children strengthen what they have previously learned through fluency-based exercises, geared toward the success of each child. It is systematically designed to target reading skills in a way that motivates children to play with language (build, manipulate, apply) and challenges teachers to think outside the box to make reading fun.

It lays its foundations on a deep understanding of how each child’s brain learns and processes how to read.

The Alpabasa Reading Program is a play-based, child-centered reading program, systematically designed to make reading and writing in Filipino fun and easy and equips children to read in Filipino. Our goal is to be a beacon of light to help provide our public school teachers with dynamic and innovative game-based teaching tools created by the Alpabasa team.

We wish to empower public school teachers all over the Philippines by giving them free workshops and teaching tools they so desperately need.
