Teach your Kids How to Read with Alpabasa Reading Program

Are you struggling to teach your kids how to read? You can now partner with Alpabasa, a play-based reading program designed by a Filipino for the Filipino learner.

There is a surge in the number of new homeschooling families because of the pandemic. The role of teaching now falls on the shoulders of parents. And teaching how to read can be intimidating. But it’s great to know that parents can teach kids how to read with Alpabasa.

What is Alpabasa?

Alpabasa is an 8-step reading program that teaches Filipino. It starts with developing strong listening skills and saying 28 Filipino alphabet sounds through songs. The goal is for the child to read and comprehend Filipino.

The majority of the homeschooling moms I know say that their child struggles in learning Filipino. Some have difficulty reading while others lack comprehension skills. Alpabasa helps navigate the child’s discovery of the Filipino language

The Backstory

Tisha Gonzales-Cruz was a preschool teacher at International School Manila. She encouraged her students to donate old crayons and writing materials to the tribal minority group in Bukidnon. Teacher Tisha saw the lack of learning materials in public schools, especially in the remote areas. Since then, she hooped to see the day where public schools will no longer be lacking in teaching resources.

In 2002, she started a publishing house, which she called Learning Lion Books. She created a library of English learning materials. Two years later, her friends, Rio Manotoc, Joan Abong, and other volunteers supported her advocacy in raising funds to conduct workshops. They also distributed learning materials to different communities and organizations.

Some groups they have supported include Efren Penaflorida’s Kariton Klasrum, GreenEarth Heritage foundation in Sierra Madre, and an indigenous community in Antipolo, Rizal.

Despite the positive feedback of the teachers, Tisha realized that teaching the students how to read in Filipino should be a priority. And so she created Alpabasa, which began as a 31-page book that focused on syllabication. Other friends like Aina Zulueta-Valencia, Teacher Shole, and Teacher Noelle all chipped in to improve Alpabsa Reading Program.

Today, Alpabasa is a complete reading program that includes syllable cards, flashcards, and Alpabasa songs which are original compositions of Lester Delgado. Parents can use the kit and online reading program to teach their kids how to read with Alpabasa. Teacher Tisha also acknowledges the contribution of Teacher Fides, Teacher Daisy, and Gerry Rivas.

Their vision is Every Filipino child, a reader. “Learning to read and eventually reading to learn will give them a good start and a chance for a better future. Together, let us build a nation of readers through empowered teachers.“

How does Alpabasa work?

ALPABASA is a play-based reading program that teaches Filipino through songs and body movement. The goal is for the child to love the Filipino language through fun learning.

You need to create an account on their website to access all online and reading kits. They offer three subscription options for you: BASIC, PRO, and PREMIUM depending on your need.

The online reading program called ORAS NA PARA SA ALPABASA runs from Monday to Friday, and each day focuses on a specific skill. It is a 28-week reading program that is available for PRO subscribers.

They also have an English reading program called Learning Lion, which is available to PREMIUM subscribers.

On a side note, I met Tisha in September 2019. We were part of Janice Villanueva’s The MompreneurLab. Our first meeting was a ‘show and tell’ of the products we create. When Tisha showed her reading kits, I knew it would help a lot of parents.

Are you still struggling to teach your kids how to read? Check out Alpabasa and help your child read Filipino and English too.

One thing I LOVE to do is encourage people. And I One thing I LOVE to do is encourage people. And I use words to do that either on social media, in my blog, or my book. 

Not everyone will LOVE what I put out there, and that's okay. Because someone who needs those words of encouragement would LOVE them. 

I got this key point towards the latter part of episode 68 of @simonsinek ‘s podcast called A Little Bit of Optimism. He was talking to Carla Hall, a chef, author, and motivational speaker. 

Although they were talking about how they ‘fell’, the conversation headed in the direction of loving what you do. 

Do check out that episode maybe it’ll hit you differently than me. Send me a DM and ill share the episode link with you 💕

There's another part of comparison that we uninten There's another part of comparison that we unintentionally do. It's looking at other people’s trials and comparing them with ours.

We all have burdens to carry. And in each burden, the Lord is either correcting or teaching us. 

Each trial is personal. So who's to say someone’s troubles are more burdensome than the other? 

Let's avoid saying, “Oh, I have bigger worries than you”. Because we don't see what the Lord is doing in the other person’s life. 

Remember, God doesn't love us equally but uniquely. Even in the challenges we encounter, He has a unique purpose in all of them. 

📖
“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” James 1:2-4 The Message

It's a little personal. Scroll up if you're not up It's a little personal. Scroll up if you're not up to it. 

My recent battle with emotions exposed an ugly truth—I operate on validation from other people. The praise and ‘good job’ became my fuel and when I don't get it, I feel unwanted and insignificant. 

But God, in his graciousness, allowed me to discover it in the quiet moments. Going through that painful season is necessary to shake the drama off of my life and keep me sober. 

He uses His Word to validate who I am and who He is. What a liberating feeling to finally have this awareness so I can press on joyfully. 

Only God can use a most desperate season to bring about His holy purpose in our lives. What the devil meant for evil, God meant for good. Praise You, Lord!
