Abstract:
The Department of Education has doubled up its efforts to address the literacy problem among Filipino learners which was compounded by the hybrid delivery of curriculum during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Given the significant number of learners who are not reading in their grade level per results of the reading assessment, the Dagupan City National High School has reinforced its reading programs as part of its learning continuity and recovery plan. Vital to implementing said literacy programs were the development, adoption and/ or utilization of interventions or strategies with the end in view of addressing the learners\' literacy needs. It was in this context that this study was conducted. It assessed the effectiveness of the Predicting, Questioning, Clarifying, Summarizing and Visualizing (PQCSV) as a strategy in improving the comprehension skills of the Grade 9 learners- section-16, in Dagupan City National High School during the school year 2022- 2023. The quasi- experimental study made use of a pretest and a posttest as the primary instrument in gathering the data needed. Specifically, results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference in their performance with regard to their comprehension skills before and after their exposure to the intervention. This can be taken to mean that the Predicting, Questioning, Clarifying, Summarizing and Visualizing (PQCSV) strategy was effective. Hence, recommendation is hereby made that the intervention be adopted and utilized in the division.\r\n-M.G. Campos
