Abstract:

In this era where learning gaps are prevalent, it is imperative to implement programs that will help learners be competent in all aspects, especially in reading. Research also indicates that individuals who engage in regular reading are more likely to excel in academics and other areas of life compared to those who do not prioritize literacy. The lack of reading can hinder academic success and impede the development of new skills, extending beyond educational boundaries. It is then important to consider crafting interventions through reading programs. The proposed program, following a 6-step Cycled Framework, was a supplemental reading program that focused on enhancing the comprehension of the selected grade 10 learners of Don Eufemio F. Eriguel Memorial National High School for the school year 2023-2024. The objective of this study was to ascertain how the intervention would affect the learner's reading comprehension before and after its implementation. Moreover, the researchers used one-group pretest and post test research designs. The Phil-Iri Assessment Tool determined who were struggling readers during pretest. The researchers conducted a post-test to determine the significant difference in the reading comprehension of the learners after the intervention. Also, researchers collected the data from the respondents based on the objectives of the study. The study then employed descriptive statistics, such as frequency counts, the mean, and percentages. Furthermore, they utilized a t-test to significantly assess the difference in the mean scores of the respondents in pretest and post test. Consequently, it found out that the majority of the learners’ reading comprehension significantly improved, therefore, the research concluded that the intervention was effective and contributed to improving the reading comprehension of the respondents. Thus, the study recommended that the teachers record the progress of learners through evaluation meetings along with the implementation of the intervention strategy.
