ABSTRACT

This mixed methods study employing the sequential explanatory aimed at determining the reading skills and grammaring skills of learners. It was conducted at Kidapawan City Division - District II. The respondents of the study for the quantitative phase were the Grade VI learners. There were 10 teachers who participated in the interview. The results show that the reading level of the learners is instructional. There is a significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores of the learners in the oral reading and reading comprehension. There was an increase in the scores in their posttest. The grammaring skills of the learners is described as observed in form, meaning, and use. Learners observed the necessary grammaring skills crucial for growth and development in the four macro skills. However, there is no significant relationship between the reading skills and the grammaring skills of learners. The reading skills of the learners did not have any impact on their grammaring skills because they are not yet in the independent level of readers. Poor reading comprehension skills and slow readers are the challenges faced by the teachers. In responding to the challenges, teachers asked helped from reading experts in the field, lowered their level in teaching, and applied reading remediations to improve the reading and grammaring skills of the learners. Teaching the fundamental concepts of grammar is the skill needed by teachers to increase the grammaring skills of the learners. The intervention plan is proposed to provide the overview of the strategy to be employed in enriching the grammaring skills of the struggling learners. Through this, they would become independent readers and could have attained the mastery level.
