This study focused on Remediation Instruction for an Improved Reading Ability: Basis for Program Management of Grade 1 Pupils. The respondents of the study were the sixty-six (66) Grade 1 pupils of Prudencia D. Fule Memorial Elementary School who underwent reading remediation at the start of the school year with a pre-assessment of prior knowledge until the second assessment in December 2020.

Despite of the big changes in the way children learn and read because of the pandemic, very few are still performing poorly; therefore, The null hypothesis, “Is the remediation instruction in reading significantly related to the pupils’ reading ability in terms of reading fluency” is not sustained. Likewise, the null hypothesis “Is the remediation instruction in reading significantly related to the pupils’ reading ability in terms of reading comprehension” is not sustained in these undertakings
