BBRP aims to assist the teachers and parents/guardians in improving the reading skills of K to 3 learners using their Mother Tongue and develop students’ appreciation for reading.

For its pilot implementation, 50 identified struggling readers from Grade 3 of Sto. Domingo Elementary School (SDES) will serve as the participants. Program orientations were conducted to the participating teachers and parents on 29 August and 7 September 2023, respectively. Dr. Naneth Labrador, Principal II of Sto. Domingo Elementary School, expressed her full support to the program.
