A habit of reading opens up opportunities to access information and widen learning. Students under the Bright Minds Read (BMR) program showed improvement in the Regional Achievement Test especially in Filipino, under which the program is implemented.
The reading program aims to instill in elementary students that reading is enjoyable, develops comprehension and critical thinking. The program also hopes to improve grammar skills of these young students, said Kenneth Yang, RMHC president.
BMR is a program by RHMC in partnership with the Department of Education-NCR.
