The validated SIMs which the researcher made were based on these two topics: The Human Reproductive System and Classifying Vertebrates. The respondents of this study were pupils from four of the ten sections of Grade V of Bayawan City East Central School. There were 36 pupils for the first SIM-The Human Reproductive System and 42 pupils for the second SIM-Classifying Vertebrates; both were divided into control and experimental groups. All of the respondents were the pupils who failed to master the proficiency level of 75% after the teacher delivered the lesson. Results showed that, for both SIMs, there is significant increase on Mean Percentage Score (MPS) in experimental groups compared to control groups. Therefore the use of Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) for remediation was very effective compared to one-on-one direct instruction with close supervision of the teachers. The study then recommends the utilization of the SIMs as remediation tools to enhance the proficiency level of low performing students.

The descriptive-correlational design was used in this study. The researcher utilized index of difficulty, percentage, mean, and Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation.
The study revealed that majority of the pupils are female. The pupils’ first grading period performance in English is in the “developing” level and in the “approaching proficiency” level for both Science and Mathematics. It further showed that the pupils’ DUTP performance in English and in Science is in the “developing” level and in “approaching proficiency” level in Mathematics.
Moreover, the following proportions of items in the DUTP examinations were found to be difficult: one-fourth of the items in English, more than half of the items in Mathematics, and almost half of the items in Science.
Furthermore, there was a “high” relationship between the first grading and DUTP performance of the pupils in English as well as in Science. A “marked” relationship was also noted in Mathematics.
Lastly, a substantial difference was revealed between the performance of the male and female pupils in the following areas: English and Science in the first grading period; and English in the DUTP examination in favor of the female pupils.
The study has the following recommendations:
1. Since the pupils were in the “developing” level in English (both in the first grading and DUTP performance), the teachers should consider the item analysis results. Items that were classified as difficult should be stressed more in classroom discussion.
2. Inasmuch as there were numerous difficult items in Mathematics and Science during the DUTP examination, a well-planned tutorial session should be organized by the teachers. This activity should be done a month before the said examination.
3. The male pupils should be encouraged to participate more in classroom discussion. During class activities, they should be paired with female pupils who excel in class.
4. The supervisors should ensure that the items included in the DUTP examination go through an item analysis.

Catalina District III. Forty-two (42) respondents were equally distributed among three groups based on their level of intelligence per academic grades from first to second quarter. The study utilized the standardized Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) as the tool in determining the pre-test and post-test performance of the kinder pupils. The researcher prepared 3 different intervention strategies for letter sound fluency and 3 different intervention strategies for word recognition and administered them to the pupils. To check on the effectiveness of the strategies, a post-test was conducted using EGRA. Results were statistically treated using percentage, weighted mean, t-test for independent data and t-test for dependent data. It was found out that pre-test and post-test performance of the kinder pupils in letter sound fluency and word recognition was generally within satisfactory level. Post-test performance in letter sound fluency and word recognition was also remarkable. There was a significant difference between their pre-test and post-test performance in letter sound fluency word recognition intervention activities.

It was conducted at The study was laid out using split plot design with three (3) replications. Treatments differences were determined using the Least Significant Different (LSD) test. Results showed that growth and yield parameters differed significantly with independent effects between factors employed. Hybrid glutinous corn applied with different nutrient management differs significantly on parameters used. Treatments applied with 50% organic + 50% inorganic fertilizers got a significant effect on ear height. Meanwhile, treatment with 100% inorganic fertilizer came in next and obtained almost the same or uniformed results with the aforementioned treatment. Finally, treatment applied with 100% organic fertilizer acquired the lowest mean average and always acquired a non-significantly lesser compared from the above mentioned treatments. Hybrid glutinous corn applied with three (3) different levels of megafol differed significantly. At 120ml/16 liters of water of megafol 80ml/16 liters of water of megafol sprayed per hectare there were significant effect on the weight per ear compared to 40ml/16 liters of water of megafol per hectare. All parameters showed that no interaction effect was observed between nutrient management and levels of megafol to the yield performance of hybrid glutinous corn.
