Reading Comprehension of English Major Students: A Perspective Analysis
Dr. Helmer B. Montejo

This research aims to know the level of comprehension of the students through reading. Driven by the result of a previous institutional research conducted in Talisay City College and directed towards graduated senior high school students where more than 50% from each cluster of students from the top 5 feeder schools are below average in both verbal comprehension and verbal reasoning, the researcher would like to know if the reading comprehension test yields the same result. Most of the respondents were average in almost all reading skills and they only differ in three areas namely background knowledge, sequencing event, and self-questioning. Students in section A were excellent in using their prior knowledge. However, they were found to be poor in arranging the events chronologically. On the other hand, section B was excellent in self-questioning skills. Even so, the Z-test result showed that there was only one skill that made a significant difference among the two groups. Program R.E.A.D.Y. or Reading Enhancement Activity and Development for the Youth is developed and proposed for implementation. Reading is a multifaceted process that develops only with practice. Having excellent reading comprehension skills is crucial. It increases the enjoyment and effectiveness of reading and helps not only academically, but also professionally, and in a person’s personal life.
