ABSTRACT

The study utilized an action research approach wherein the researcher used PowerPoint Slide Presentation in enhancing the oral reading skills of Filipino primary grade pupils at T.R. Yangco Memorial Elementary School. These pupils are non-readers or slow readers. The researcher facilitated the intervention through Google Meet. Purposive sampling was employed, using a pre-test, a post-test, an interview guide, an observation guide, and PowerPoint slides as instruments. Results showed that the oral reading skills of the pupils were fairly satisfactory to satisfactory before the use of PPT slide presentation and had improved after the intervention and were classified as very satisfactory to excellent level. The PPT slide presentation can be integrated into all parts of the lesson, from motivation to evaluation, which could improve pupils’ oral reading skills. Further, the teacher exhibits knowledge of content and pedagogy using the PPT slide presentation as learners engage actively in class. The pupils encountered slow internet connectivity as a major difficulty during the application of the PPT slide presentation. Based on the findings, pupils’ oral reading skills improved after the intervention. The PowerPoint Presentation proved effective in teaching oral reading. The study recommends that teachers use computer-assisted instruction, such as PPT, to further enhance learners’ reading

Key words: Oral reading skills, PowerPoint presentation, primary grade pupils.
