This paper presents the oral reading performance among selected Grade 1 pupils in Cebu City South District. There were two hundred eight pupils in five (5) Elementary public schools that participated through purposive-convenience sampling. Students were asked to do an oral reading of a Cebuano folktale in two languages, Cebuano and English. As they read, the difficulties they encountered and the errors they committed were determined and analyzed using the framework of McGinnis & Smith (1982). After the results were identified, implications on MTBMLE materials preparation and development were formulated. The pupils’ oral reading in both their L1 (Cebuano) and their L2 (English) served as basis for the evaluation of the reading abilities among beginning readers and provided teaching implications in relation to the implementation of the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education Policy in the country.
