About This Action Plan in Reading
This Action Plan in Reading is designed to help schools prepare structured reading interventions for learners based on assessment results.
The template includes action plan parts such as:
- objectives;
- activities and strategies;
- resources needed;
- time frame;
- persons involved; and
- success indicators.
These sections help teachers organize the reading program from assessment to intervention, monitoring, and evaluation.
Why an Action Plan in Reading Is Important
Reading is one of the most important foundational skills in basic education. A learner who struggles in reading may also experience difficulty in understanding lessons across different learning areas.
A reading action plan helps schools respond to this need in a more organized way. Instead of giving random reading activities, teachers can use assessment results to identify learners who need support and prepare targeted activities based on their reading level.
A good reading action plan may help teachers:
- identify learners’ current reading levels;
- group learners based on needs;
- plan appropriate reading interventions;
- assign persons involved in the program;
- prepare reading materials and monitoring tools;
- track learners’ progress;
- strengthen parent involvement;
- document school-based reading activities; and
- evaluate if the intervention improved learner performance.
Phil-IRI as Basis for Reading Intervention
The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory, commonly known as Phil-IRI, is used by schools to assess learners’ reading performance and identify reading levels.
Using Phil-IRI results, teachers can classify learners according to their reading performance and provide appropriate support.
Common reading levels include:
- Independent Level;
- Instructional Level; and
- Frustration Level.
The action plan also considers learners who may be non-readers or slow readers so that they can be given focused reading support.
What’s Included in the Template?
The editable Action Plan in Reading includes the following major parts:
Objectives
The template includes objectives such as:
- determining learners’ reading levels using Phil-IRI;

Activities and Strategies
The template includes suggested activities such as:
- conducting Phil-IRI pre-test and post-test;

Possible success indicators include:
- consolidated Phil-IRI results;

How Teachers Can Use This Template
This template can be used as a guide in preparing a school-based or class-based reading action plan.
Teachers may use it to:
- organize Phil-IRI results;
- identify learners who need reading support;
- group learners according to reading level;
- select appropriate reading activities;
- assign persons responsible;
- prepare required materials;
- schedule reading intervention sessions;
- monitor learner progress;
- involve parents in reading support; and
- evaluate the improvement of learners after the intervention period.
Suggested Reading Program Flow
For a more organized implementation, teachers may follow this simple reading program flow:
- Conduct initial reading assessment.
- Consolidate and analyze results.
- Identify reading levels and priority learners.
- Group learners based on needs.
- Prepare intervention materials.
- Implement reading activities regularly.
- Monitor progress monthly.
- Communicate with parents or guardians.
- Conduct post-assessment.
- Prepare accomplishment report.
This flow may be adjusted based on the school’s reading program and learner needs.
Practical Reading Intervention Ideas
Teachers may include different reading activities depending on the age, grade level, and reading ability of the learners.
Here are some practical ideas:
- daily 10–15 minute reading sessions;
- guided oral reading;
- paired reading;
- buddy reading;
- vocabulary-building activities;
- picture-word matching;
- syllable blending;
- phonics drills;
- sight word practice;
- story retelling;
- comprehension questions;
- reading journal entries;
- parent-assisted reading logs; and
- short reading conferences.
The best reading intervention is one that is consistent, monitored, and appropriate to the learner’s actual reading level.
Home Reading Support
Reading improvement does not happen only inside the classroom. Parent or guardian support can also help learners build reading confidence.
The action plan includes home-school support activities such as:
- parent orientation on reading support;
- take-home reading tasks;
- weekly reading log monitoring;
- parent-assisted reading sessions; and
- communication with parents or guardians about learner progress.
Teachers may explain to parents that reading support at home does not need to be complicated. Even short daily reading practice can help learners develop fluency and confidence.
Monitoring Learner Progress
Monitoring is important because it helps teachers see whether the reading intervention is working.
Teachers may monitor learner progress through:
- monthly reading checks;
- oral reading activities;
- reading logs;
- progress tracking sheets;
- comprehension activities;
- teacher observation notes; and
- comparison of pre-test and post-test results.
If a learner is not improving, the teacher may adjust the intervention, change the reading material, provide more guided practice, or coordinate with parents.
What Makes This Template Useful?
This editable Action Plan in Reading is useful because it already gives teachers a structured starting point.

Teacher Tip
Use the Phil-IRI results as your starting point. Do not create a reading intervention plan based only on general assumptions.
If many learners are at the frustration level, prioritize decoding, word recognition, and guided oral reading. If learners are already at the instructional level, focus on fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. If learners are at the independent level, provide enrichment activities such as book talks, reading journals, and independent reading tasks.
This makes the action plan more targeted and meaningful.
