Abstract

This research was undertaken among the Grade 7 students in Dominador Narido High School located in Taisan, Basud, Camarines Norte.

The result of this study was utilized as basis in identifying the possible intervention strategies that may be formulated to improve the level of reading comprehension skills and academic performance of Grade 7 students. This study used descriptive correlational method research to attain the purpose of the researcher. The composition of the reading comprehension results according to literal, inferential, and critical comprehension was also considered as basis for the formulation of intervention strategy to improve the reading comprehension skills of the students.
