The Marungko Approach is a widely used method in the Philippines for teaching beginning reading in Filipino. It was developed to help young learners, especially in Kindergarten and Grade 1, become fluent readers by focusing on letter sounds before introducing whole words.
📘 Key Features of the Marungko Approach:
Sound-Based Learning
- It starts with teaching the sounds of letters (phonemes) rather than their names.
- This helps children decode words more easily and develop phonemic awareness.
Letter Sequence
- Letters are introduced in a specific order based on their frequency and ease of pronunciation in Filipino:
S-A-T-P-I-N is a common starting set, followed by other letters like K-E-O-M-L and so on.
- Letters are introduced in a specific order based on their frequency and ease of pronunciation in Filipino:
Blending and Segmenting
- Learners are taught to blend sounds to form syllables and words (e.g., sa, ta, pin).
- They also learn to segment words into individual sounds.
Contextual Reading
- Short stories, sentences, and reading passages are used to reinforce the learned sounds and words.
Visual and Kinesthetic Activities
- Teachers often use flashcards, charts, songs, and movement-based activities to make learning engaging.
🎯 Why It’s Effective:
- Tailored for Filipino language learners
- Builds strong phonics foundation
- Encourages active participation
- Proven to improve reading fluency and comprehension
