When you give someone a book,
you don’t give him just paper, ink, and glue,
You give him the possibility of a whole new life.
Christopher Morley

First the bad news, before the good news
The Philippine public school system, often described as “overburdened and under-resourced”.
Not enough classrooms, Overcrowded classrooms
Large class sizes
Not enough teachers, Poor quality of teachers
Not enough textbooks
Poor quality of textbooks
Increasing dropout rates
Less than ideal classroom settings
![Page 4: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The good news…
the 2011 budget of the Department of Education has increased to a record Php 192 billion (US$ 4.5b)
52% more than the Php 122 billion (US$ 2.8b) budget in 2006.
![Page 5: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why the dropout rate?
Marked from Grades 1-2 due to health & nutrition: poverty
100% enrollment rate in Grade 1 to 68.38% in Grade 6.
A decline each year because of poor comprehension skills and inability to succeed in school
Main academic problems: reading, math, science
![Page 6: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HS Year 4, the enrollment rate plunged to 42.50%,
with only 14% graduating from college.
2004-05 Department of Education data
![Page 7: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Overall, there is poor quality of teaching
and learning.
![Page 8: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What has become clear is that …
Reading proficiency is the key to early literacy success and eventual success in school and the work world.
![Page 9: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What an irony…
That keeping the students in school will mean an additional 1-1.2 million students to the system.
A success that will breed new problems, even worsening the present shortages.
![Page 10: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Basic Education Reform of the Aquino administration (2010-16)
Part of the 10-point agenda:
By 2015, children everywhere in the country will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.
By 2016, that every child must be a reader by Grade 1 by the end of the Aquino administration
![Page 11: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The necessary infrastructure for this…
libraries
reading books
teachers trained in teaching reading
![Page 12: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Department of Education (DepEd) in 2001
Every Child a Reader Program (ECARP)
Grade 3: level targeted when every child must be a successful reader
Also known as the
Zero nonreaders goal by Grade 4
![Page 13: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Grade 3 found too late in the elementary level, especially
with the mandatory Kindergarten program as
preparation for Grade 1 this school year.
![Page 14: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An ambitious goal?
Major institutional reforms are in order
the accompanying infrastructure
the much needed teacher training for more effective reading instruction
![Page 15: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
There is no denying that…
There are many existing pockets of excellence, but nota mandated standard, uniform, sustainable program that every one adheres to.
![Page 16: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What the DepEd has instead are…
different initiatives from different divisions around the country
a catalog of Best Reading Practices and Reading Intervention Projects from 30 schools in 17 regions as of March 2010.
![Page 17: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ten years after
the very catchy Every Child a Reader slogan, our achievement test scores are nothing to crow about
Two concrete results:
Philippine Informal Reading Inventory, a one-on-one reading assessment program
The New Zealand Reading Recovery Program for Grade 1 low literacy achievers
![Page 18: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DepEd 2001 directive
every student should show written or oral evidence of having read at least two books a year, one per semester prior to promotion to the next level.
![Page 19: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reading and the medium of instruction
President Aquino refers to an ambitious tri-lingual approach that poses a challenge:
“learn English well to connect to the world, learn Filipino well to connect to the country, retain your mother tongue to connect
to your heritage.”
![Page 20: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Trilingual policy improves on the
Old bilingual policy as medium of instruction : majority of students do not have the
background in English and in Filipino, the national language to succeed in either language.
![Page 21: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Build on the cultural and linguistic diversity of Philippine society
Our rich cultural heritage and the archipelagic geography of the country’s 7100 islands have given us
over 120 distinct languages
eight major regional languages which are widely
spoken.
![Page 22: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
For school year 2011-12
Education Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC
Introduced the first-ever universal public kindergarten program for 5-year olds
Initial step towards the K+12 program:
1. To address competencies in English, Math, and Science
2. To make graduates more globally competitive
![Page 23: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How does one promote the love and habit of reading in a setting like the Philippines today?
Philippine Board on Books for Young People or the PBBY
Sa Aklat Sisikat (“Books Make You Cool”) Foundation
Both are impassioned with the crusade to make every Filipino child not only learn to read but love to read.
![Page 24: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PBBY
lead agency in celebrating National Children’s Book Day every third Tuesday in July
the date marks the anniversary of the publication of Philippine national hero Jose Rizal’s “The Monkey and the Turtle” in Trubner’s Oriental Record, a London publication.

Goal of SAS
to build a nation of readers and to develop in the public school children the love and habit of reading through its 31-day Reading Program:
a two-day Teacher Training Workshop
Read-A- Thon
“Celebrate Reading”
![Page 30: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why 31 days & why Grade 4?
For a habit to be formed, it will take continuous practice
of a routine 21 to 28 times
Age when the child begins to read comfortably
![Page 31: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Over a decade, SAS has been in…
868 public schools. (only ¼ of total no.)
benefitting 24,619 teachers
touching the minds of over one million Filipino students nationwide
distributed almost 181,000 children’s books.

The independent study concluded that
the short-term SAS reading program is an effective way of “cultivating good reading habits in children and, hence, improving their reading ability.”
![Page 39: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The age-appropriate books
improved reading skills
the program had the largest and most persistent effect on word recognition
boosted the reading habits of students, even outside school

DepEd’s Library Hubs
If students were to be encouraged to read and to love
reading, there had to be an infrastructure for reading in every school. The students
needed to have books in their hands.
![Page 67: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
The problem: Setting up a library for…
37,000+ public elementary school libraries in the Philippines?

Thus, the concept of Library Hubswas born
warehouse or wholesale libraries established in
different schools divisions in the country to service public elementary and high schools
in the division.

Karina Bolasco, publishing manager of Anvil Publishing, Inc.
“... as long as we make books that get children to read, this by itself is good, for the habit of reading… is what we aspire to develop among our young
as a lifelong habit.
![Page 91: Neni Sta. Romana Cruz - tkpark.or.th · Major institutional reforms are in order ... through DepED’s Library Hub Project ... National Children’s Book Awards (2010):](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5b8371a37f8b9a31608d4e29/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Book reading is a virtue unto itself, and if publishers succeed in turning
it into a lifelong dependency or addiction, then that should be good, for truly and regrettably,
book readers are today an endangered species.”
