In the Philippines, millions of children struggle with reading, preventing them from reaching their full potential in school and beyond. Reading Bulilit is committed to changing this by empowering parents and educators with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to teach reading effectively.
Together, we can ensure that every Filipino child has the opportunity to develop strong literacy skills—building a foundation for lifelong learning and success.
📖 91% of Filipino children at late primary age are not proficient in reading (World Bank, 2022).
📖 Only 24% of 15-year-olds meet the minimum reading proficiency standard (PISA 2022).
📖 Only 19% of Filipino children aged 3-4 are enrolled in early education, missing a critical window for literacy development (PSA 2020).
📖 The Philippines ranks behind most Southeast Asian countries in reading proficiency, affecting students’ academic performance and future opportunities.
Low literacy rates have far-reaching consequences:
Academic Struggles: Students who cannot read proficiently face difficulties across all subjects, increasing their risk of dropping out.
Economic Limitations: A workforce with poor literacy skills can hinder national productivity and economic growth.
Social Challenges: Individuals with low literacy levels may have limited civic participation and reduced access to essential services.
To improve reading proficiency in the Philippines, a dual approach is necessary:
Empowering Parents and Communities
Increase awareness of the importance of early childhood education.
Promote a play-based approach to early learning rather than forcing young children to read and write too soon.
Strengthening Government Support
Ensure accessible and well-structured early education programs.
Invest in teacher training, curriculum improvement, and learning resources to enhance reading instruction.
