The Brigada Eskwela as a five-day activity has an inclusion of literacy as a key priority of the Department of Education. This is also in consonance to this year's theme, Brigada Eskwela: Sama-sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa, which highlights a nationwide effort and volunteerism on literacy development.
Mayo National High School through its School Head Sir Joselito M. Hugue, responded to the call of efforts. The plan and preparaton for Literacy Assessment was conducted with the help of the School Reading Coordinator, Ma'am Sitti Ayessa G. Tiago.
The actual implementaion of literacy assessment is being spearheaded by Ma'am Niña Joy H. Calungsod - an English teacher and the school SSLG adviser.
Furthermore, the conduct of literacy assessment is giving students an opportunity to be assessed in terms of their reading skills. Through this, learners will have advance encounters of reading passages either through oral or silent ways. Even though the school year is yet to commence on Monday, June 16, 2025, the students since day 1 of Brigada Eskwela are being introduced to reading of texts that can awaken and test their sense of understanding. The assessments will be of great help in crafting possible interventions necessary for the improvement of students's ability in reading.
Thus, this literacy assessment implementation prior to the opening of classes showcases the spirit of Bayanihan as the teachers and parents convene allowing the students to express their thoughts from the material read either in writing or oral ways using the language.
Keep on, read on, Mayonians! 💪📖📚
