Abstract

This study assessed the levels of awareness and implementation of every child a reader program (ECARP) in public elementary schools within South Butuan District-I, Butuan City Division, Philippines. Additionally, it sought to determine the relationship between the awareness levels of teachers and school heads and the program’s implementation. A mixed-method design was used, with survey questionnaires administered to 105 respondents, representing 95% of the district’s teachers and school administrators. Analysis of the collected data revealed that participants exhibited high awareness regarding the components of implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and reading assessment. The implementation of ECARP was rated as very satisfactory. Furthermore, a significant relationship was identified between the levels of awareness and implementation, underscoring the importance of guideline awareness for effective program execution. The study concludes that heightened awareness of ECARP guidelines is crucial for achieving a well-implemented reading program. These findings offer a valuable contribution to the field of education by providing a localized analysis of the reading program, highlighting both its challenges and successes. The study introduces data that can inform future policy adjustments, while offering new insights for enhancing existing reading programs and guiding the development of localized intervention plans.
