Addressing the learning poverty that affects only 9% of Filipino children aged ten who can read a simple story, this collaborative research reported the impact of the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu Pahinungod Volunteer Hybrid-Tutorial Program on the reading comprehension skills of 37 children from Tejero Elementary School (TES). The volunteers were 37 undergraduate students from UP who used printed technologies in their one-on-one sessions. Anchored in the ADDIE Model, the research underwent the following stages. In the Analysis and Design Stages, we designed a hybrid tutorial program based on the children's low and average reading comprehension performances in the Diagnostic test and their high reading interest and motivation. We developed a two-month hybrid tutorial, with face-to-face sessions conducted every Wednesday for two hours and online sessions held every Saturday for one hour. The parents and children living in a digitally challenged environment received training on using Google Meet, email, social media, websites, and educational apps. The study's findings were as follows: (1) Hybrid volunteerism significantly improved the children's comprehension skills, with a mean gain of 4.040 (pretest: 4.640, posttest: 8.680). (2) According to the interviews, the children and their teachers reported that the use of differentiated printed technologies promoted excitement, active learning, individualized learning, and enjoyment. (3) The parents’ active participation during online tutorials positively contributed to children's scores.

Addressing the learning poverty that affects only 9% of Filipino children aged ten who can read a simple story, this collaborative research reported the impact of the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu Pahinungod Volunteer Hybrid-Tutorial Program on the reading comprehension skills of 37 children from Tejero Elementary School (TES). The volunteers were 37 undergraduate students from UP who used printed technologies in their one-on-one sessions. Anchored in the ADDIE Model, the research underwent the following stages. In the Analysis and Design Stages, we designed a hybrid tutorial program based on the children's low and average reading comprehension performances in the Diagnostic test and their high reading interest and motivation. We developed a two-month hybrid tutorial, with face-to-face sessions conducted every Wednesday for two hours and online sessions held every Saturday for one hour. The parents and children living in a digitally challenged environment received training on using Google Meet, email, social media, websites, and educational apps. The study's findings were as follows: (1) Hybrid volunteerism significantly improved the children's comprehension skills, with a mean gain of 4.040 (pretest: 4.640, posttest: 8.680). (2) According to the interviews, the children and their teachers reported that the use of differentiated printed technologies promoted excitement, active learning, individualized learning, and enjoyment. (3) The parents’ active participation during online tutorials positively contributed to children's scores.
