Remember those pupils who were called ‘repeaters’ because they were retained for not knowing how to read. They mastered it on their first 3 years in primary schooling as they started learning how to read the English or Filipino language. And basically, they learn it during their preschool days. ‘Abakada’, the basic instrument of literacy that helped most Filipinos begin to search for knowledge.
