PRRA facilitated the identification of literacy challenges within selected schools, fostering a collaborative effort with representatives from various sectors in Barangay Tabugon, Sta. Elena Camarines Norte, Philippines. By engaging these stakeholders, the study aimed to comprehensively address critical issues, including limited resources, overcrowded classrooms, and insufficient parental involvement, all of which significantly impact effective learning. The findings suggest evidence-based intervention strategies to improve literacy outcomes and contribute to the community's holistic development. The study recommends the implementation of a literacy enhancement and assistance program for the community. UR - https://doi.org/10.54203/jems.2023.2 ER -
