Curriculum Implementation Division Launches “Books on Wheels”

Ligao City, Albay-The Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) successfully implemented the “Books on Wheels” initiative last November 27, 2025, a mobile literacy program aimed at bringing quality reading materials directly to learners and strengthening early literacy development in public elementary schools. The activity was proposed by EPS Maria Grecia Renolayan, whose initiative focused on improving access to reading resources and creating meaningful and engaging literacy experiences for learners through a mobile and school-based reading setup.

A highlight of the program was the storytelling session facilitated by PDO-II Geraldine R. Carillo, EPS Maria Grecia Renolayan and EPS Leopoldo Brizuela, Jr., who served as the storytellers. Their engaging and expressive storytelling captivated learners, fostering listening skills, imagination, and an increased appreciation for reading and stories.

The success of the activity was made possible through the full support of the Learning Resource Management Section (LRMS), which provided the learning materials and extended comprehensive technical and logistical assistance. The LRMS is headed by EPS Rommel Carl R. Peralta, with the support of Librarian II Grace G. Saret, ensuring the availability, quality, and effective utilization of the learning resources used during the activity.

The Books on Wheels initiative benefited learners and teachers from Ligao East Central School (LECS), Don Teotimo Elementary School, and Ligao West Central Elementary School–Poblacion (LWCES–Poblacion). Participants actively engaged in the reading and storytelling activities, reflecting the program’s positive impact on learner motivation and reading interest.

This initiative highlights the Curriculum Implementation Division’s continued commitment to promoting literacy through innovative, learner-centered, and resource-driven programs. Through strong collaboration with the Learning Resource Management Section, Books on Wheels supports the development of a culture of reading and equitable access to quality learning resources across schools.

Batang, Ligao City — To further strengthen the quality and accessibility of learning resources in public schools, the DepEd SDO Ligao City, through the Learning Resource Management Section, successfully conducted the 1st Division Market Scoping and Finalization of Priority Lists of Supplemental Learning Resources for School Libraries on July 31, 2025, in Batang, Ligao City.

The activity served as a strategic platform for assessing available supplemental learning materials aligned with the Revised K to 12 curriculum and the evolving needs of learners. The market scoping enabled school leaders and learning resource managers to interact directly with publishers, explore innovative instructional materials, and finalize a list of priority resources for acquisition and use in school libraries.

Several publishing companies responded to the call and presented their latest materials, showcasing a wide range of educational books and references geared toward improving literacy, creativity, and 21st-century learning skills. Their participation significantly enriched the selection process and gave evaluators a better understanding of the variety and quality of resources available in the market.

In her message, Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Nympha D. Guemo highlighted the role of learning resources in elevating classroom instruction. She emphasized, “𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.
