This qualitative study aims to examine the experiences of Filipino language teachers in teaching reading in the context of the New Normal. The necessity for this research arises from the significant shifts in educational paradigms due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which have forced educators to adapt rapidly to new normal learning environments. Understanding these adaptations is crucial for developing effective teaching strategies that meet current and future educational demands. Based on empirical studies published from 2020 to 2023, the review aims to showcase successful strategies for phenomenological research. Interviews were used to describe themes and identify teachers' experiences, challenges, perceptions, and strategies in teaching reading. The results of the study reveal three themes. The first theme is the Teachers' Experiences in Teaching Reading in the New Normal, which encompasses opportunities and satisfaction, complications and challenges, confusion and problems, adjustments and lack of motivation, difficulties in reading and writing, divided attention, and academic transitions. Meanwhile, the second theme is the Mechanisms Employed by Teachers in Teaching Reading in the New Normal, which includes seeking inspiration, facing challenges, using eclecticism, performing duties, demonstrating altruism, and implementing collaboration. The final theme is the Perspectives Shared by Teachers in Teaching Reading in the New Normal, which includes themes such as professionalism, performance in the new context, students' needs, work-life balance, innovative language teaching methods, and broad perspectives. The study highlights the importance of educational programs in Filipino that are based on the local context of the New Normal and provides suggestions for improving reading instruction methods in Filipino schools.
