This research determined the implementation of the parents’ and teachers’ initiatives in teaching Grade 1 learners phonetic blending in the public elementary school in Cebu during the School Year 2020-2021 as the basis for a home reading action plan. It utilized the adapted descriptive-comparative research design using survey questionnaires and supported interviews to gather data. The respondents are 84 learners with phonetic blending difficulty, 29 Grade 1 teachers, and 231 parents. Collected data were statistically treated using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and rank. Results showed that parent-respondents are mostly 29-35 years old, female, high school graduates, dominated by mothers, available materials at home are books and grandmothers as other learning adults at home. Teacher-respondents are all females, under 29-40 years old, with masteral units, teacher III and taught for more than ten years. Parents perceived the level of learners’ phonetic blending ability as skilled and less skilled for teachers.Moreover, the level of implementation of the respondent groups’ initiatives in the development of the learners’ phonetic blending abilities is perceived as implemented for parents and highly implemented for teachers. Results show that the parents’ and teachers’ perceptions are significant. Lastly, the extent of the problems encountered by the respondents is found to be high for parents and teachers. Hence, it is concluded that both respondent groups differ in implementing initiatives in phonetic blending during the pandemic. Adoption of the home reading action plan is recommended.

Motivated by the popularity of online reading on Wattpad, this research was conducted to investigate the metacognitive awareness of digital and online reading strategies to 39 undergraduate students who read English Web-novels on Wattpad. Additionally, the researcher explored the potential influence of English proficiency (TOEFL) and field of study, as well as the specific features of Wattpad that aid in their reading experience. Employing a quantitative survey and adapting the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Study Inventory (MARSI) developed by Mokhtari et al. (2018). The findings indicated that participants had a moderate level of strategies when reading English web-novels on Wattpad (M = 3.42). Problem Solving Reading Strategies were the most used (M = 3.80), followed by Global Reading Strategies (M = 3.73) and Support Reading Strategies (M = 2.73). English proficiency and field of study did not significantly impactful, with all groups showing similar levels (M = 3.4). Additionally, interactive features were not considered helpful (M = 2.51 and M = 2.23, respectively), while description and figure attachment features were frequently used (M = 4.15 and M = 3.25, respectively). The results indicated a necessity to integrate specific strategies, like incorporating Global Reading Strategies for pre-reading tasks and utilizing Problem Solving Strategies during reading activities, within EFL instruction. The research highlighted the obstacles encountered by both learners and instructors in the process of teaching and acquiring reading skills. It suggested that incorporating these strategies could effectively tackle comprehension challenges and improve overall language proficiency
