Learning a language is a process that requires repeated, daily exposure: it needs long-term commitment from both students and parents. The success of WIKA’Y GALING! is anchored on teachers who engage children at the center and parents who support their child’s learning at home.
Levels 1-7
Beginning Filipino (Salita at Parirala)
These levels are for children with little exposure to Filipino and for whom it is a second language. In Beginning Filipino, they are given vocabulary according to themes, and taught basic Filipino grammar through practice and worksheets. They learn to speak, read and write words and use them in daily conversation. Parents support learning by reading Filipino stories at home and conversing in Filipino using conversation prompts.
Levels 8-14
Beginning Filipino (Pagsulat ng Pangungusap)
These levels are for children who have learned words in Filipino but cannot use them in proper sentences and rely heavily on translation to comprehend stories. The lessons help them acquire good oral communication skills and understand broad grammar rules with correct usage. They learn to speak, write and understand simple to complex sentences and compose short paragraphs (3-5 sentences). Learned skills enable them to confidently use the language in simple conversation and improve in academics.
Levels 15-24
Reading Comprehension in Filipino (Beginner)
This stage is for children who can speak in Filipino but demonstrate limited comprehension skills. They still rely on translation in reading Filipino stories and texts, which is reflected in the quality of their Filipino compositions. Teachers explicitly teach reading strategies, provide vocabulary building activities. Writing prompts are given to enhance written expression.
Levels 25-32
Reading Comprehension in Filipino (Intermediate)
These levels are for children who can communicate and express their ideas completely but may still need help in language mechanics which hinders effective writing in Filipino. Mentor texts and books are used as springboard for the lessons in writing. Students are given exercises on sentence conventions, construction and word choice, writing summaries and evaluating texts.
Levels 33-40
Effective Writing in Filipino (Advanced)
This level is for children who has a good grasp of Filipino but needs help in effective writing. They will be exposed to various essay types, be taught essay development methods and critical approaches in Philippine literature.
