Abstract
This study examined Project REAL (Read Every Day and Learn) as a reading intervention program for Grade 3 pupils at Samboan Central Elementary School, Poblacion, Samboan, Cebu. This experimental study used a complete enumeration to survey all Grade 3 pupils. The research uses the standardized Phil-IRI Grade 3 Selected Passage in the Pretest to measure reading skills. Researchers collected data pre-test, during the Project REAL intervention, and post-test. Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive statistics for student and reading profiles, as well as a T-test to determine pre- and post-intervention reading disparities. Project REAL improved grade 3 students' reading comprehension, demonstrating that it may erase literacy disparities. Thus, strengthening Project REAL may help primary school literacy.
