an ug remedial classes para makarecover sila sa kanilang academic losses (We have this what we call the Transition program and the the same time, there are many children right now that are provided with remedial classes to recover from their academic losses),” said Estacio.
These initiatives are led by DepEd Digos City Division and supported by Education-major students from local colleges and universities.
"Project Labang" is another program promoted by the city to assist students in overcoming reading comprehension challenges and meeting grade-level requirements.
“Ginascaffold nato, gina bridge nato sila aron mameet nagyud nila ang requirement nga dapat nila matun-an. (We are scaffolding them, creating a bridge for them to meet the requirement that they should learn),” Estacio stressed.
She said that reading comprehension is the foundation for understanding other subjects like Mathematics and Science, which ultimately enhances students' speaking and writing skills.
DepEd has also adopted several strategies to boost reading comprehension, including the Drop Everything and Read program at 3 o'clock, pull-out classes for targeted discussions with selected students, and Extra Reading Classes for retention.
These comprehensive efforts by Digos City demonstrate a commitment to supporting student's academic growth and well-being during these challenging times. (Arquilian Agustin/OJT/PIA Davao)
