This is the reason why Department of Education (DepEd) has been exhausting all avenues to redeem the declining literacy rate, particularly among learners in mathematics and science, that includes training mathematics and science teachers in integrating comprehension and reading activities in their learning. Aligned with this context, the Retooling of Mathematics and Science Teachers on Integrating Reading and Comprehension Activities in Learning Resources was held at Patin-ay National High School, Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur on June 1-3, 2022 for Batch 1 and on June 6-8, 2022 for Batch 2. The first batch of the participants included all mathematics teachers across all key-stages while the batch 2 participants included all science teachers across all key-stages of learning. The activity aimed to be compile mathematics and science worksheets with embedded reading and comprehension activities for the struggling readers. There were twenty-six (27) mathematics teachers, twenty-six (26) science teachers, three (3) resource persons, three (3) division personnel, and one (1) secretary who attended the retooling activity. In total, there were twenty-seven (27) worksheets in mathematics and twenty-six (26) worksheets in science that were compiled. The worksheets were scrutinized and quality assured by the Quality Assurance Team of the respective learning area. Reflective test, oral formative tests, activity sheets, sessions pretests and posttests, and daily evaluation forms were used as assessment/evaluation tools/methods all throughout the activity.
