“…Notwithstanding these perspectives, a multitude of studies have indicated that reading specialists have assumed the role of an instructor in remedial reading programs than that of a consultant i.e. working with students who have difficulties in reading (Barclay & Thistlewaite, 2012: Crain, 2003Kulesza, 2001;Quatroche, Bean, & Hamilton, 2001;). This is due to the notion that reading specialists are engineers who are tapped whenever there are reading problems among students (Jaeger, 2016).…”

“…In the study of Barclay and Thistlewaite (2012), it reveals a ten to one ratio for those who assume teaching roles as compared to those who perform as consultants. This is supported by Kulesza (2001) who discovered that among elementary level reading specialists, instruction is their primary role alocating 94% of their time to remedial classes while only 6% perceived the role of a resource person as the most important.…”

Remedial reading teachers are forerunners in elevating the reading achievement of students in schools. In the Philippines, there has been a continual enrichment of the reading skills of struggling readers through the initiatives of remedial reading teachers. However, the country does not have clear policies on the identities, roles, challenges, and needs of such teachers. This paper presents a review of the literature on remedial reading teachers. The results revealed that remedial reading teachers performed various roles in schools and that the cultivation of the roles and duties of remedial reading teachers rely so much on different factors, some of which are knowledge and the skills that they have, philosophical views in education and the whole school community, the rapport that remedial reading teachers have with their colleagues, the support of the administrators to their personal and career developments, and provisions of the local government. It was also evident in the review that literature and studies are scarce regarding remedial reading teachers in the Philippines, thus, suggesting to explore on the what's and the how's of remedial reading teachers in a hope of creating clear policies that will strengthen their identities and support their professional developments.

“…The absence of well-defined policies for remedial reading teachers poses a significant hurdle in addressing reading remediation issues in the Philippines. A mixed-method research study delving into the English and Filipino reading profile of learners, challenges, difficulties, lessons, school agendas, and initiatives revealed that a substantial portion of learners operated at the frustration level (Barclay, 2012). Identified causes of students' reading challenges included non-mastery of reading elements, the presence of learners-at-risk, and a lack of a reading culture (Batan, 2016).…”

Remedial reading instructors play a pivotal role in improving the reading skills of students in Philippine schools, yet there is a lack of well-established policies addressing their identities, roles, challenges, and needs. This study conducts a literature review on remedial reading teachers in the Philippines, revealing the diverse roles they assume in school settings. The effectiveness of their roles is influenced by factors such as their knowledge and skills, educational philosophy, community dynamics, collaborative relationships with colleagues, administrative support for personal and career development, and provisions from local government. Despite the importance of their contributions, the review emphasizes a shortage of literature and research dedicated to remedial reading teachers in the Philippines. As a result, the paper calls for further exploration into the complexities of their roles and responsibilities, with the goal of guiding the formulation of explicit policies to strengthen their professional identities and support their continuous development in the field of reading remediation.
