ABSTRACT

The study aimed to enhance the reading comprehension skills of Grade Five pupils using Reading Road Map. The study made use of quasi-experimental research design where an adopted-enhanced Reading Road Map was the primary datagathering instrument. One section of Grade Five Pupils, which is composed of forty-eight (48) pupils from Cabatang Elementary School contributed to the study. Percentage and weighted mean were used in the statistical analysis of data. Meanwhile, the study revealed in the mean pretest scores before using the Reading Road Map were the reading performance of the respondents falls under average in terms of sequencing of events, inferencing and noting significant details falls on good level and identifying the main idea belongs to the fair level only. Meanwhile, there were changes in the mean post-test of the respondent’s score. Despite the little improvement in the scores, the level of sequencing of events still falls under average level, inferencing and noting significant details still fall under good level. Identifying the main idea improves and falls under a good level. The little improvement in the mean score of the respondents indicates that somehow using Reading Road Map contributes to the reading comprehension skills of the respondents.

KEYWORDS:
