Several strategies are used by teachers, school heads, and parents to enrich reading skills such as phonics, phonological awareness, comprehension, fluency, writing, and teaching pedagogies. Yet, there were challenges generated such as lack of interest, learning modality during the pandemic, parental support, and absenteeism. Henceforth, the researcher came up with an intervention program consisting of video lessons and activity sheets entitled Familiarizing Alphabet and Halina at Matuto, HuwagMalitosaAlpabeto. Also, capacity building entitled Project ARAL (Advocating Rigor Assistance on Literacy) for parents.
