Scientific Finger Reading Technique

Abstract

The "Scientific Finger Reading Technique" is an innovative educational approach designed to improve children's reading skills through a hands-on, interactive method. Developed by Janilyn P. Beciera, EdD, this technique addresses the prevalent issue of reading difficulties in young learners, which can hinder their academic progress across various subjects. Rooted in the principles of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE), the technique leverages children's native languages to build a strong foundation for acquiring additional languages. The approach involves children using their fingers to trace words, integrating visual and motor skills to enhance comprehension and fluency. This tactile interaction makes reading more engaging and accessible, catering to diverse learning styles. The technique is implemented through a user-friendly digital platform that provides real-time feedback and tracks progress, allowing for targeted interventions and personalized support. The innovation's primary goals are to make reading more enjoyable, foster a positive attitude towards learning, and create inclusive learning environments. The implementation process involves collaboration among educators, parents, and educational specialists, with continuous monitoring and feedback to ensure effectiveness and sustainability. This method aligns with the Department of Education's mission to provide quality education and empower learners, embodying the principles of inclusivity and adaptability.
