Pagbasa sa Wikang Filipino
“Ang pagbabasa ay isa sa mga pangunahing kasanayan sa wika na dapat pinagkadalubhasaan ng mga mag-aaral. Sa pamamagitan ng pagbabasa, naipababatid ang mensahe ng isang teksto. Kaya naman nahaharap pa rin sila sa maraming mga kahirapan sa pag-unawa ng teksto … Sa panahon ngayon, maraming mag-aaral ang may pagkabigo sa pag-unawa ng mga teksto na nagiging dahilan sa kawalan ng interes sa pag-aaral”.
… Kaya naman ang paghubog sa bawat kasanayan sa wika at pagbasa ay marapat na matutunan ng bawat mag-aaral sa tulong ng pagpapakilala ng iba’t-ibang babasahin na lilinang sa kompetensi na dapat matamo ng mga mag-aaral.
