EFFECTIVENESS OF PHONO VISUAL ORAL SOUND BLENDINGMEANING (PVOSBM) APPROACH IN TEACHING READING ANDLITERACY AMONG GRADE 1 LEARNERS

Abstract

It is believed that learners who are deemed proficient readers also tend to have a greater understanding of various reading abilities, such as vocabulary growth, word choice, style, and knowledge of varied ethical diversity throughout cultures. Given the significance of early reading skills in shaping learners' academic success, this study is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the Phono-Visual Oral Sound Blending Meaning (PVOSBM) approach in enhancing reading and literacy among Grade 1 learners. Measuring the improvements in the mean scores of the grade one pupils before and after the exposures of the traditional method revealed from above establishing the alpha error of 0.05 with the degrees of freedom of 12, and the equivalent critical values for both one – tailed and two – tailed numerically 1.782 and 2.179 respectively, since the computed t – value solely for the traditional method result shows to be greater than those critical values for both one – tailed and two – tailed tests, the study attempted reject the null hypothesis to signify the fate of having improvements of the grade one pupils under the traditional method of reading. Moreover, utilizations for the PVOSBM Approach could guarantee the increase of the reading ability schemes of the learners. Seminars and trainings pertaining to the PVOSBM approach and other differentiated instructions to are highly recommended in the attainment of reading proficiency
