FAQ

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 an online Filipino reading program with a total of 140 episodes, which 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 red days, the letter of the week is introduced. (Araw ng Pagpapakilala ng Tunog)

On orange days, we read a short story and explore words that begin with the letter sound. (Araw ng Mailking Kuwento)

On green days, we learn the strokes and practice writing the capital and small letters. (Araw ng Pagsulat)

On blue days, we do blending exercises and work with syllables. (Araw ng Pagpapantig)

On purple days, we spell out words through segmenting exercises and read the story of the week. (Araw ng Sari-Saring Titik)

With the Pro Subscription Plan, you have access to the complete set of stand-alone video clips 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. In addition, your child will enjoy our ORAS NA PARA SA ALPABASA weekly videos. The program follows the Alpabasa letter sequence as it introduces a new letter sound every 7 days while building on previously learned skills.

The LEARNING LION ALPHABET SERIES is an English reading program that follows a similar letter sequence and works parallel to Alpabasa.

Another great way to reinforce the learning is through hands-on practice. The materials presented in the videos are available for purchase in our online shop. We also offer some free printables.
