November 2025 National Reading Month

The College of Teacher Education Students of CCDC Bring Stories

to Life to Puguis Elementary School Pupils in November 2025 National Reading Month

November is National Reading Month in the Philippines, celebrated nationwide through the Department of Education (DepEd) Memorandum Order No. 44-2011. Its highlight is National Reading Day, or “Araw ng Pagbasa,” held every November 27^th under Republic Act No.10556. This celebration promotes the importance of reading as a foundation for learning and growth.

This year, the Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC) – College of Teacher Education (CTE) joined the nationwide celebration by participating as storytellers for elementary pupils. The CTE students visited Puguis Elementary School and joyfully shared stories with elementary learners. Using expressive voices, lively gestures, and interactive activities, they brought stories to life and created meaningful connections with the children.

CTE student, Ms. Kurtny Dane G. Pedrin, shared, “I was happy to see that many of the pupils genuinely enjoyed the way we told the story. Their smiles and reactions made the experience more meaningful for us.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Ace Y. Yubos, Mr. Hector S. Tipayno, Ms. Prynces Nicole T. Robillos, Ms. Vilma C. Singson, and Ms. Love Joy S. Lacaden expressed that the experience became more than just a storytelling activity. It is a valuable opportunity for future educators like them to test and strengthen their confidence and teaching skills. The activity was under the guidance of CCDC-CTE faculty member, Ms. Bliss T. Bacacao.

The faculty of Puguis Elementary School expressed appreciation for the excellent performance of the CTE students. They also provided constructive feedback, noting that while the storytelling delivery was impressive, there is room for improvement in developing more creative and appropriate instructional materials. Reading opens doors to imagination, discovery, and lifelong learning. Through activities like storytelling, CCDC–CTE continues to support DepEd’s advocacy of nurturing a love for reading among young learners. On the other hand, this kind of activity is an avenue by which the CTE students are exposed to experiential learning in real field settings that reinforce their theoretical activities in their curricular courses.
