Thus, this paper emphasized addressing the learning gaps of Grade 1 learners in literacy in Basud District, Division of Camarines Norte, Philippines. It focused on knowing the results of Grade 1 learners on the given Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) as to reading profile: Full, Moderate, Light Refresher, and Grade Ready.
