This study evaluated the effectiveness of School-Based Reading Programs (SBRP) in enhancing the literacy levels of Kindergarten pupils in Ubay III. Using a descriptive-documentary survey design, data were gathered from 162 respondents—including 15 teachers,15 school heads, and 132 parents—through standardized tools adapted from Merto (2018) and Mendez (2019). The reading programs were assessed across five implementation domains, while literacy levels were measured in four key areas: words and sentences, rhymes, syllables, and phonemes. Results showed that reading programs were “highly performed,” and pupil literacy levels were rated as “very good,” with no significant differences based on demographic variables or respondent type. These findings affirm the effectiveness of structured, collaborative reading interventions in supporting early literacy. The study recommends continued support, training, and evaluation of SBRPs, along with greater parental involvement and further research into additional literacy factors.
