Leveled Readers in MT (Grade 1 and Grade 2)

✓ Developed based on text gradient features and guidelines ✓ Help learners practice, apply and increase their reading skills ✓ Build on familiar oral language, sentence patterns, pictures and context ✓ Some titles have two versions to suit groups of learners’ different abilities

revised Learner’s Material “mother document” that could be adapted and contextualized into the mother tongues used across the country

Bridging across Languages

What I want to learn in Filipino

• r English

What I know in my home language

Bridging is a specific, structured instructional moment when learners transfer knowledge from one language to another. It is using everything you know about one language to learn another language.

12

Basa Pilipinas

Basa-developed resources support bridging across languages.

• Revised Teacher Guides with “Bridging Notes” to teachers
• Trigger videos for school-based teacher continuous professional

development sessions (called Learning Action Cells or LACs)
