A reading approach is a way of needs to teach newcomers to read. Within the last few years instructors have used various approaches to the particular teaching of reading, writing and punctuation. There are various ways of beginning to instruct reading.

That way the reader could see the relationship between the written word, reading your message and their own language.

The Eclectic Method
A modern approach to examining uses a mix of methods such as global, analytic along with synthetic to best suit the actual learner along with teacher.

The Global Approach
A global approaches to reading gives the English student meaningful wording to listen to, examine and memorize by experience. It considers that a individual learns greatest when examining begins with normal text.

You’re Sight Phrase Approach
In the sight term approach completely new words are realized by memorizing them with assistance from picture indicators.

It is a synthetic approach to reading through which is a approach which depends on the smallest portion of sounds as well as builds these individuals into syllables as well as words/ This is called synthesizing these.

No finance conversion at DepEd

"There is not any fund conversion at the Department of Education," said DepEd Spokesman and Undersecretary for Legal and Legislative Affairs Alberto Muyot. The declaration came in the heels of reports that fund conversion is not limited to the Armed Forces of the Philippines but to other government agencies such as DepEd.
In 2009, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) changed the release of personal services (PS) budget by transferring funds to the department based on the actual quantity of personnel unlike in the past when the budget given is based on the amount of plantilla positions.

Individual services funds released by DBM are addressed by the monthly lapsing of Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA). "Pag naglapse at di nagamit sa loob ng isang buwan, babalik kaagad ang pondo sa DBM," said Muyot.
At any time there are excess or unused PS funds, it can only be utilized for personal services such as teachers' pay modifications and payment of year -end bonuses of employees, all governed by accounting rules. "The P10,000 Christmas bonus given to teachers annually are drawn from this because it is not part of the regular allocation from the General Appropriations Act," added Muyot. Excess PS funds cannot be transformed or used as Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) or Capital Outlay (CO) funds in compliance with Commission on Audit (COA) rules.

DepEd also cleared its position around the issue which the the department instantly adds the number of teachers it is authorized to employ in a year, without subtracting people who retired, were separated from, or died in service throughout the same period.

If a teacher is separated from service, we have to immediately replace them or else no one will teach and we will never be able to address teacher shortage. Remember that we have at least a million new entrants to the public school system each school year thus the continuing need for teacher positions," Muyot discussed.

As a matter of policy, DepEd abides from the rules of COA on fund management and disbursements. It added that the current leadership can never tolerate fraudulent transactions and it is willing to work with the House of Representatives or any other party that wants to discover how DepEd budget is spent.

Why do they choose to wear scrubs?

Time has gone so fast and to recall during the time of Florence Nightingale who is the founder of Nursing we understand that they usually wore these gala type uniforms with aprons. And after that, as modernization comes so swiftly comes another type of uniform which are the scrub uniforms or scrub suits though gala was still one of the uniforms nurses wore. Scrubs were originally worn by doctors specifically the surgeons during operations and all of a sudden became the uniform in the laboratory, nurses, midwives and even attendants or assistants like almost all in the hospital has uniforms tailored like the scrub uniforms.

Even those in medical clinics and more so on spa and massage centers wore these type of uniforms. After all these immediate and addictive stage form of dressing, questions came out as to why and how did they all liked to wear scrub uniforms! Even if well just focus in the hospital's vicinity, we will be confused as to who is the doctor, who is the nurse, who is really the midwife! Well with regards to the attendant it would be uplifting for him or her if he/she be called as a nurse and worst if be called as a doctor! But in reverse what if we miss to identify the doctor and thereby call him as an attendant? Well the point here is not with the style or choice of fashion or dressing but at least there should be a standard as to choosing the color. So like for instance all medical practitioners should agree that doctors should be wearing only colored blue scrub uniforms at the same time nurses should only be wearing white scrubs since they are the followers of nightingale who really gives extra importance on cleanliness through purity. The rest must then be discussed by all concerned, like it should be worldwide if possible.

And so the second question goes: how did they became to like this simple style of a lab coat or uniform? And the answer here is simply because they are more comfortable working using the said kind of uniform.

This uniform scrub is more comfortable to use compared to the gala uniform and just to note: nurses are not allowed to wear wrinkled uniforms! And so they like this much better because its easy to wash dry and fold and also because they don't quite worry of their actions for just the uniform. They can now be more efficient in work through this wrinkle free material of the scrub suits. One good thing to suggest to manufacturers and suppliers of these scrubs is to make sure that the right people are going to use the uniform and are not to be sold as uniforms for baby sitters and nannies.
