How to teach marungko approach to reading. Marungko Approach was first introduced in a public elementary school in Marungko, Angat, Bulacan, devised by Nooraihan Ali and Josefina Urbano. According to Nooraihan and Urbano, the method used is called "phono syllabic“ which is teaching of correct single sounds and the blending of sounds into syllables and words. Note that the mastery of letter sounds is very important in this approach.How to use Marungko? 1.The first 5 lessons are as follows: m, s, a , i, o Teach each sound and form until mastery before a new sound is introduced: a) Ask a question to which the response will elicit the target sound. You can use pictures of words beginning with m, s, a etc. depending on the current lesson. b) Show the target letter and tell the children to sound it again as they look at the letter. c) Show them how to write it. Ask them to write it, with the fingers in the air, on their palm, on their desks, and on paper as they give the sound. e) Mastery means they know the sound and the form of the target letter. They can give the sound and write the symbol. 2. After the first 3 sounds have been mastered, these can be combined to form words, phrases or sentences. Start blending of sounds. Every new sound is introduced with previous sounds already learned and in various combinations into words. Start blending of sounds. 3. Introduce function words that cannot be taught through the phono syllabic method as whole words e.g. ang, ng, mga, ay. 4. After the first 5 sounds have been mastered, any other sound can be taught in relation to sounds already learned. Suggested sequence is as follows: b, e, u, t, k, l, y, n, g, ng, p, r, d, h, w. Remember to blend only the sounds that were taught and mastered.

Key Content The development of reading competence among young children is fundamentally crucial
in improving educational outcomes and has far-reaching implications. In fact, the competence to
read by an individual can transform him into a valuable economic asset for a country as pointed
out by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). However, despite
this fact on the implied relationship of reading competence to a country’s economic growth, the
Philippines turned out to be the last among 79 countries based on the report provided by the
OECD through its Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2019 of which Filipino
students around the age of 15 got a rating of 340 points in reading comprehension, lower than
the average of 487 points. Thus, this study contends that this reading comprehension problem
can be intervened and corrected by educators at the ground level by developing reading
comprehension skills through an effective beginning reading teaching approach for its learners at
the beginning reading stage to authentically develop and solidify the foundational reading
competencies of the learners such as the ability to identify letter name, identify letter sound,
discriminate initial sound, read familiar words and read oral passage before promoting them to
the next level.
It is in this context that beginning reading teachers may explore beginning reading
teaching approaches such as the Marungko approach to help improve in the teaching of these
foundational reading competencies. Thus, this quasi-experimental study was conducted to assess
the effectiveness of the Marungko Approach in developing these foundational reading
competencies of Grade 1 Learners. Findings reveal that there is a significant difference between
the pre and post-test level of beginning reading competencies being tested. Hence it is concluded
that Marungko Approach is an effective key in improving the learners’ reading performance in the

2. beginning reading stage which is also a crucial foundation in the development of more micro
competencies in reading resulting to an improved and solidified reading comprehension skills that
are crucial in the higher level of the educative process.
