ORGANIZATION
Rafael Palma Elementary School started the Remedial Reading Program June to October in previous years but because of the pandemic we made some adjustments to ensure the quality of education especially to our remedial reading class. This school year we started conducting our remedial class in October 2020 to July 9, 2021.
In collaboration with our principal and teachers, we aimed to promote a ZERO –NON READER SCHOOL. The said program have been a big help to our pupils who have at risk in reading.
Grade II and Grade III pupils are attending the Remedial Reading Class Pull out in previous years. Since this year is an online distance learning, we teach them online via messenger, google meet and other learning platforms in order to continue the said program.
