PROJECT SHAPE 2.0 Presented at Ateneo de Iloilo
Today, May 28, 2026, at the prestigious Ateneo de Iloilo, the School Principal III of Tanquigan Elementary School, Maria Liza P. Higoy, proudly presented PROJECT SHAPE 2.0 — School and Home Assistance Program for Advancing Proficient and Engaged Readers — as a transformational reading intervention program designed to improve the reading skills of struggling learners in Grades 4 to 6.
The presentation highlighted the school’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that no learner is left behind in literacy development. PROJECT SHAPE 2.0 is deeply anchored on the school’s mantra: “Every child reads. Every mind innovates. Every learner belongs.” This guiding principle reflects the school’s vision of creating an inclusive learning environment where literacy, innovation, and learner empowerment are given utmost importance.
An enhanced version of the original PROJECT SHAPE, the program promotes stronger collaboration among teachers, parents, stakeholders, and the community in addressing learners’ reading gaps through structured, learner-centered, and data-driven interventions. The initiative also integrates the use of digitalized reading materials and technology-based learning tools to make reading instruction more engaging, interactive, accessible, and responsive to the needs of 21st-century learners.
Through PROJECT SHAPE 2.0, learners are provided with contextualized and digitalized reading materials, interactive literacy activities, and guided reading support both in school and at home. Teachers utilize innovative reading strategies and digital tools to monitor learners’ progress, strengthen comprehension skills, and encourage independent reading habits. Parents and guardians likewise serve as active partners in reinforcing literacy activities beyond the classroom, proving that education truly becomes more meaningful when the school and community work hand in hand.
The program aims to:
1. improve learners’ reading comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary skills;
2. provide targeted interventions for struggling readers;
3. strengthen school-home-community partnership in literacy development;
4. integrate digitalized reading materials and technology-driven learning tools in reading instruction;
5. cultivate learners’ love for reading through engaging and meaningful experiences; and
6. sustain a culture of literacy, innovation, inclusivity, and lifelong learning.
The presentation served as an inspiration to fellow school leaders and educators, demonstrating how transformational leadership, collaboration, and innovation can create meaningful change in learners’ academic performance and reading achievement.
Indeed, Tanquigan Elementary School continues to uphold its commitment to transforming struggling readers into proficient, engaged, and empowered learners through innovative, inclusive, and sustainable literacy programs.
