Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the contribution of individualized reading materials to the reading comprehension of Grade VI learners at Francisco Ll. Laya Memorial Integrated School, Pindugangan, Tipanoy, Iligan City during the school year 2019-2020. Specifically, the study determined how this strategy helped in terms of the pretest-posttest reading performances using the PHIL-IRI selections in Comparative and Individualized Group; the significant difference between the pretest and posttest reading performances of the participants in the Comparative and Individualized group; and finally the reading materials to be compiled based on the results of the study. Quasi-experimental research design was utilized and a standard Phil-IRI questionnaire was used in gathering data. Frequency and percentage, independent t-test and paired t-test were performed to find out the significant relationship between the pretest and posttest reading performances of the respondents in the two groups. The study revealed that using individualized reading materials contributed in improving the reading comprehension skills of the learners. Significant conclusions were given that the use of the individualized reading materials created a new learning atmosphere which motivated the pupils to improve their comprehension of the read text.
