• Naglalaman din ng mga pagsasanay na lumilinang sa mga kasanayang pantalasalitaan, pang-unawa, at pambalarila
• Nakabatay ang Bigkis sa paniniwalang ang mga mag-aaral ay may magkakaibang lebel ng karanasan, kakayahan, at kahandaan sa pagkatuto kaya’t inilatag ang mga aralin sa paraang makatutugon sa iba’t ibang intelektuwal na pangangailangan hindi lamang ang mga batang linear ang estilo ng pag-iisip kundi pati na ang mga mag-aaral na global na madaling matuto sa pamamagitan ng larawan, aksiyon, awit, atbp

Ang seryeng PINTIG ng Lahing Pilipino ay lumilinang ng mga kasanayang nakasalig sa batayang konseptuwal sa pagtuturo ng Filipino na itinakda ng K to 12 Kurikulum ng DepEd. Pinapatnubayan nito ang mga mag-aaral sa pagpapahusayng mga makrong kasanayan— pakikinig, pagsasalita, pagbasa, pagsulat, at panonood.

Isinaalang-alang din sa seryeng ito ang mga konsepto hinggil sa pangangailangang panlipunan, lokal at global na pamayanan, at ang kalikasan ng mga mag-aaral.

Makatutulong ang serye sa paglinang ng mga kaisipan at pilosopiyang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng paglalakip ng mga piling akda at tekstong hahamon sa kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral sa kritikal na pag-iisipat replektibong panunuri.

Tinatalakay ang mga aralin gamit ang makabagong teknolohiya upang mapalawak ang kaalaman ng mga mag-aaral sa kapaki-pakinabang na gawain tungo sa mga angkop na propesyon. Nakapaloob din sa serye ang paggamit ng mga teorya sa kalikasan at pagtuturo ng wika, mga teorya at simulain sa pagsusuring panliterasi, at mga pagdulog sa pagtuturo ng mga akdang pampanitikan. Sa tulong din nito, naisasabuhay ang mga pagpapahalagang Pilipino na nakasalig sa mga paksang tungkol sa pangangalaga sa kalikasan, pagkakapantay-pantay anuman ang kasarian, paggalang sa karapatang pantao, at pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at katarungan sa bayan.
