Phil-IRI Reading Action Plan for Grades 4–10 | Three-Term Ready
Reading and literacy remain among the most important learning priorities in schools. For learners in Grades 4 to 10, strong reading skills are needed not only in English and Filipino but also in other learning areas where learners are expected to read, understand, analyze, and respond to different types of texts.
To help teachers, reading coordinators, class advisers, and school heads prepare for the school year, we are sharing this Phil-IRI Reading Action Plan for Grades 4–10. This revised version is designed to be Three-Term School Calendar-ready, making it easier for schools to organize reading assessment, intervention, monitoring, and reporting activities by term.
This editable Word file may be customized based on your school context, learner needs, available reading materials, Phil-IRI results, and existing school reading or literacy program.

What Makes This Version Updated?
This version of the action plan has been revised so that the Time Frame column is now easier to align with the Three-Term School Calendar. Instead of using only broad monthly schedules, the activities are organized according to school opening activities, Term 1, Term 2, Term 3, and end-of-school-year reporting.
This makes the document more useful for planning, monitoring, and reporting reading/literacy activities under the new school calendar structure.
DepEd Basis and Alignment
This resource is based on the use of the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory or Phil-IRI, which helps teachers determine learners’ reading performance through oral reading, silent reading, and listening comprehension. Phil-IRI results may help identify learners who are at the Independent, Instructional, or Frustration reading levels.
The action plan is also prepared for Grades 4 to 10, which are the grade levels covered by Phil-IRI administration based on recent DepEd guidance. It is designed to support schools in planning reading assessment, intervention, progress monitoring, evaluation, and reporting activities.
What Is Included in the Action Plan?
The action plan contains a complete table with objectives, activities and strategies, resources needed, time frame, persons involved, and success indicators. It may be edited depending on your school’s reading program and actual learner data.
- Determining learners’ reading/literacy levels using Phil-IRI
- Analyzing Phil-IRI results and identifying reading gaps
- Organizing learners into reading intervention groups
- Providing remediation for learners under Frustration Level

Three-Term School Calendar Alignment
The revised action plan is structured to support school activities across the three terms of the school year. The timeline may still be adjusted depending on your official school calendar, division instructions, and actual schedule of Phil-IRI administration.

| Opening / BoSY Period | Orientation, learner profiling, Phil-IRI pre-test, consolidation of baseline reading data, and identification of target learners |
