Abstract:
This study explored Teachers' strategies, challenges, and coping mechanisms in helping struggling readers in the new normal. The research participants were fourteen selected elementary teachers of Tungawan Central Elementary School, specifically teachers handling Grade one, two, and three pupils. This study utilized a single case study method to determine the teachers' strategies, challenges, and coping mechanisms in helping struggling readers during the pandemic. The study results showed that the participants utilized various strategies to help struggling readers, such as conducting remedial classes, using phonetics, doing a simultaneous reading, and integrating games and reading materials. In addition, the participants also encountered the following challenges: lack of student willingness, lack of parents' cooperation, lack of time for reading, lack of reading materials, and lack of teacher's patience. Furthermore, to address the challenges, the participants identified coping mechanisms: having more patience, fostering a supportive learning environment, using teaching strategies, and motivating themselves. Recommendations were made based on a general interpretation of teachers' strategies, challenges, coping strategies, adjustments, and suggestions for improvement. The suggested recommendations could help the plans of the Department of Education and numerous studies and researchers.
