The study follows a descriptive qualitative design, involving 4 teachers, school principal and 56 students of grade 4, 5, and 6. The data are collected through classroom observation and interview with the teachers, students, and the school principal.

These strategies comprise cooperative literacy program, interactive storytelling, reading respond journal and novel study. Each of these strategies is described and the impacts of their implementation on young learners' ability to read and write in English are explained.
