Today, in our viewpoints, is the most challenging epoch of all times. Everybody was really affected by this pandemic. We tend to adapt the new normal but, undeniably, it is tough for us to live in the ways we do not use to do. The national and local government planned on how to keep their people safe and sound against the Corona Virus Disease. This led the authority to impose and implement the different precautionary measures in order to prevent the widespread of the virus. These settings have truly affected the delivery of education to our beloved learners. As educators, we find ways to continue on delivering knowledge especially on numeracy and literacy for our learners to acquire the desired competencies within a specific time. Many of the households in our community are unable to access the online mode of learning; as a result, modular distance learning is the only modality that is suitable for the learners but quite a challenge for both of the learners and teachers specifically in teaching and learning literature.
Literature is one of the exciting lessons in a classroom setting particularly when unique methods or strategies are being applied by the teacher. Learners are attentive and cooperative in small group differentiated activities especially when they can relate themselves in the story or topic. Practically speaking, this can’t be done at their home when modular distance learning is implemented. Exchanging of different ideas, expressing of emotions, and exploring the world of literature might not guarantee to unfold since they will be learning with themselves. Parents can help. Yes. But the guidance and instructions that teachers can give is what the learners need the most. The bind that connects the learners and the teachers will be disconnected somehow. This is a huge challenge that the learners and teachers have to face in this time of pandemic
