How do children learn to read through Alpabasa Online?” tab_id=”1597092976538-86c9b733-cad2″][vc_column_text]ALPABASA is a play-based reading program, systematically designed to make reading and writing in Filipino fun and easy for children. Through action songs and movement-based activities, children are motivated to play with the Filipino language and discover its richness–and it doesn’t stop there! The Alpabasa Program ensures that children strengthen what they have previously learned through fluency-based exercises, geared toward the success of each child.

ORAS NA PARA SA ALPABASA is a 28-week online reading program that runs from Monday to Friday. This is available to all pro subscribers. The videos are unlocked one week at a time. The program follows the Alpabasa letter sequence as it introduces a new letter sound weekly while building on previously learned skills.

Each day focuses on a targeted skill:
On Mondays, the letter of the week is introduced. (Araw ng Pagpapakilala ng Tunog)
On Tuesdays, we read a short story and explore words that begin with the letter sound. (Araw ng Mailking Kuwento)
On Wednesdays, we learn the strokes and practice writing the capital and small letters. (Araw ng Pagsulat)
On Thursdays, we do blending exercises and work with syllables. (Araw ng Pagpapantig)
On Fridays, we spell out words through segmenting exercises and read the story of the week. (Araw ng Sari-Saring Titik)[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the difference between the Basic, Pro, and Premium subscription plans?” tab_id=”1599025986406-0ec3d466-43d5″][vc_column_text]With the Basic Subscription Plan, you can access short video clips from Steps 1 to 5 of the Alpabasa Program. These include action songs, short stories, and other fun videos that will help introduce the Filipino language and alphabet to your child. You can integrate these stand-alone videos to your own educational program or curriculum plan.

Pro Users have access to the complete set of stand-alone video clips from Steps 1 to 8 of the Alpabasa Program, plus ORAS NA PARA SA ALPABASA, a 28-week online reading program that runs from Monday to Friday (unlocked one week at a time). The program follows the Alpabasa letter sequence as it introduces a new letter sound weekly while building on previously learned skills.

Interested in learning to read in Filipino and English? The Premium Subscription Plan features the LEARNING LION ALPHABET SERIES, weekly English episodes that follow the same letter sequence.
