Abstract / Executive Summary
The senior high school curriculum provided Reading and Writing Skills as a core subject to help the students be ready to have disciplinary literacy once they enroll in their specialized subjects. However, there are no prepared instructional materials in the subject and most of the time, the teachers in the subject prepare on their own without realizing the need to connect the subject to the learning competencies and performance standards of the students in the specialized subjects. This research aimed to provide aid to the Reading and Writing Skills teachers and students to discover and bring out the relevance of the subject to their strands. This study aimed at helping teachers and students in Reading and Writing Skills bring out the relevance of the subject to the strands of the students. This research was developed to help improve students’ skill in reading and writing in different discipline contexts which is one of the most important tasks to be able to comprehend different texts in the specialized subjects of the students. The steps of this research and development consist of collection of data that focused on the perceptions of grade 11 students regarding the use of discipline contexts in Reading and Writing Skills and the level of relevance of Reading and Writing Skills to the performance standards of the discipline contexts of each strand of the grade 11 students of the second trimester of the School Year 2019-2020 of the University of the Cordilleras Senior High School.
