Abstract

Comprehension is the basic condition for meaningful reading. The current quantitative study conducted in the English language context explored the effect of teaching reading strategies on the reading comprehension of junior high school students with a sample size of 30 in an inclusive classroom setting. The findings revealed that majority of the students were at the ages 14 to 17 years old, females, parents’ income ranging from ₱9,520 - ₱19,040 with an educational background at the high school level. The Effective Instructional Methods were more highly utilized than the cooperative learning strategies. Both reading comprehension levels during the pre-test and post-test belonged to the proficient level. There is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (t = 7.417; p>0.05) of the reading comprehension performance of the respondents. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship (r = 0.158; p>0.05) between the post-intervention and the extent of varying teaching strategies. Findings indicate that teaching reading strategies have a positive impact on the reading comprehension of students at the junior high secondary level. The study has important implications for teachers, students, curriculum planners, policymakers in the field of education, and school heads.
