The Wikaharian for grade 2, hosted by Teacher Michelle Agas, is a TV animated show that features 50 new episodes of curriculum-aligned video lessons available on-air, online, and offline. Wikaharian for Grade 2 aims to teach children to help them promote and develop their awareness, appreciation, and love for their culture, tradition, and beliefs as Filipinos. 

“As a country that is rich in culture, traditions, stories, and beliefs, it is essential to have a strong and reliable record-keeping system as well as modern methods of sharing knowledge and information for the benefit of future generations”, said Sen. Loren Legarda, the Senate President Pro Tempore in support of Wikaharian show of KCFI and NCCA.

KCFI strongly believes that reading is the cornerstone of academic achievement and is committed to providing children with valuable resources and tools to help them develop their foundational reading and language skills.
