<br/><br/> 		ABSTRACT SAYABAT, GREGGY MARK G. Mariano Marcos State University. May 2021. STORY-BASED LESSONS FOR THE TEACHING OF MOTHER TONGUE ALPHABET AMONG KINDERGARTNERS. Major Adviser: Irene T. Acuna, MED  	Using the descriptive research design employing the Research and Development (R&D) method, this study developed and validated story-based lessons for the teaching of mother tongue alphabet among kindergartners which aimed to address the current dearth of contextualized instructional materials in early childhood education. Two data gathering instruments were used in the study. The validation rating scale on the features of stories for kindergartners anchored on Coyle's (2007) study on crafting stories for kindergartners was used to validate the crafted stories and the content validation rating scale patterned after Pangat (2012) was used for the content validation of the story-based lessons for the teaching of mother tongue alphabet. The data gathered from the content validation of the crafted stories and story- based lessons for the teaching of mother tongue alphabet were interpreted and analyzed through weighted means. 	Based on the results of the study, the features of the stories such as storyline, plenty of repetition, opportunities for participation, appropriate linguistic level, language accuracy, and socio-cultural sensitivity are highly evident. Similarly, the story-based lessons were assessed as very highly valid in terms of objectives, activities, and instructional characteristics. Therefore, the material is ready for use by kindergarten teachers in teaching the letters of the mother tongue alphabet.
