Effectiveness of Marungko Approach in Reading Literacy among Primary Learners

Abstract This study investigated the effectiveness of the Marungko Approach in enhancing reading literacy among primary learners at Tumalog Elementary School. The participants included Grade 1, 2, and 3 learners for the school year 2025–2026 who demonstrated difficulties in reading, as identified through an initial screening assessment. A one-group quasi-experimental design was employed to measure the impact of the intervention. Pretest results revealed that learners exhibited only an average level of mastery in key literacy domains. After implementing the Marungko Approach, posttest results indicated substantial improvement in word recognition, phonemic awareness, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. A paired t-test analysis showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000) in learners' performance before and after the intervention. These findings suggest that integrating the Marungko Approach into the early grade curriculum can significantly improve reading outcomes by addressing decoding and fluency challenges through explicit, systematic instruction. Moreover, the study emphasizes how necessary reading intervention is to bridge the literacy gap and promote continuous academic achievement. Given the foundational role of early literacy in academic development, the continued implementation of the Marungko Approach shows strong potential for improving reading outcomes across diverse educational contexts.
