Abstract

A contextualized flipchart is a widely used instructional material by many teachers in the Philippines. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research approach to evaluate the effectiveness of using contextualized flipcharts to improve the reading fluency of Grade 2 pupils in selected schools in District 9 and District 10 of the Ozamiz City Division. The study involved 18 participants, including Grade 2 teachers, selected school heads, and selected parents from both districts. The data revealed that using contextualized flipcharts significantly increased pupil retention and participation. Key themes that emerged included reading session mastery, engaging real-world connections through flipcharts, and enhancing vocabulary retention through focused discussions. However, resource challenges identified in the study included ensuring sustainability, integrating technology, and maximizing funds. Therefore, it is recommended to use contextualized flipcharts in reading sessions, especially in schools that lack reading materials such as storybooks and other books.
