Abstract:
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Sound Box Mat strategy in enhancing the word-recognition skills among struggling Grade 1 readers. It employed a pre-experimental design featuring a one-group pre-test and post-test. The sample consisted of ten students enrolled in an Elementary Laboratory School, located in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, and who had been identified as struggling readers based on their performance in the Phil-IRI reading test. The Sound Box Mat strategy is a technique that aims to improve the word recognition abilities of struggling readers through the use of a mat divided into boxes, with each box representing a phoneme or sound, to help learners blend the sounds together to form a word. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in the learners' word recognition level after the intervention. The pre-test and post-test scores of the learners demonstrated a significant difference, indicating that the Sound Box Mat approach was effective in improving their reading abilities. These findings suggest that the Sound Box Mat strategy is a viable and practical technique for improving the reading skills of struggling grade 1 readers. The strategy can support the academic success of learners and enhance their reading abilities.)
