READING COMPREHENSION LEVEL AMONG GRADE 7 LEARNERS OF GENERAL SANTOS CITY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: BASIS FOR A PROPOSED INTERVENTION PROGRAM

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the demographic profile and the level of reading comprehension students of the Grade 7 students at General Santos City National High School and the intervention program that can be drawn based on its results. The respondents were taken from the Grade 7 level and selected randomly from all the sections under the basic education curriculum and its special programs. The demographic profiles of the respondents were gathered in the observation of the needed ethical standards of confidentiality and consensus to make sure that they are protected. The analysis revealed in this study that age does not serve as a contributory factor to the reading comprehension of the respondents, as there are varied results that do significantly prove its connection. Sex and socioeconomic status, however, were deemed to be a determinant in the level of reading comprehension among students in Grade 7. Additionally, the finding suggested that the student's ages were significantly related to their reading comprehension levels, also, there was no statistically significant relationship between gender and reading comprehension and family income levels significantly impacted student’s reading abilities.
