About DepEd School-Based Summer Reading Camp
Summer Reading Camp is a fifteen (15) weekday activity which follows the integrated approach to teaching and learning where all subject areas are involved focusing on reading comprehension skills. This would certainly address not only the existing problems on reading deficiencies of our learners in both elementary and secondary levels but further nurture and hone the individual’s love of reading thus exposing them to various learning opportunities where reading skills will be enhanced through play, fun games, oral interpretation, videos and other enjoyable activities.
It is suggested that this summer reading program shall be an outdoor activity, depending on the school situation, facilities and weather condition. Every Friday of the week shall be a culminating activity, a sort of a program, putting together what the campers have learned and a showcase of their talents.
The aforementioned school-based activity is anchored on the following objectives:
ELEMENTARY SUMMER READING CAMP:
a) to help non-readers read
b) to enable frustration readers comprehend what they read
c) to develop instructional readers’ comprehension skills and improve oral interpretation skills
d) to enhance the reading abilities of individuals through various literary activities
e) to hone teacher-volunteers’ teaching capacities/competencies in teaching reading
SECONDARY SUMMER READING CAMP:
a) to recognize the value of selections read through literary appreciation to wit:
• verbalizing emotional response
• identifying sensory impressions
• understanding figurative language
• appreciating poetxy/prose works
c) to enhance their comprehension skills by teaching them how to use their experiences and their knowledge to make sense of what they are reading

The participating teachers may render four (4) hours daily (either morning or afternoon) for fifteen (15) days or for special cases, a teacher may render 8 hours a day for a total of sixty (60) hours.
