A QUANTITATIVE STUDY: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEVELS OF

READING COMPREHENSION AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
AMONG GRADE 12 HUMSS STUDENTS OF GFMINHS
CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

INTRODUCTION: school systems are often challenged to meet the needs of
students who are not performing at grade level expectations and provide
support services to help those students to close the achievement gap
(Cimmiyotti, 2013). Since reading is a skill utilized in every academic
subject area, it is a logical domain to examine for a correlational
relationship with the academic performance. The ability to read is an
essential skill for students to master because information is presented in
text throughout the world. According to Widdowson (1979) reading is an
interactive process that goes on between the reader and the text, resulting
in comprehension. Reading is therefore seen as the combination of textual
information with the information the reader brings to the text resulting to
comprehension of the text. Anderson (2000) notes out that reading is a
mental process, not getting from print but engaging the reader‘s mind to
decode meaning. Reading requires thinking; it is not just speaking the
words and symbols but rather thinking and speaking.December 2013, The
NSO's 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) showed that of the
71.5 million individuals who are 10 years old and above,97.5 percentor
69.8 million were literate or could read and write. This is higher compared
to the literacy rate of92.3 percent recorded in the 2000 CPH.97.5% literacy
rate is quite an impressive figure but if we will take a look at the result of
the National Achievement Test (NAT) ON 2012, Grade 3 students got a
Mean Percentage Score of 54.42% in English reading Comprehension and
58.61% in Filipino(Edutopia.com). In this study, data was collected on
students reading comprehension level and academic performance at the
school site of study. The data was then assigned to performance levels and
an average performance level was determined for each student in reading
comprehension and academic performance. Finally, the performance levels
for each student were analyzed to determine if a correlation existed
between student reading comprehension level and academic performance
of Grade 12 students of Governor ferrer Memorial Integrated national high
school.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
This study aimed to determine the reading comprehension level and

academic performance of Grade 12 students of Governor Ferrer Memorial
Integrated National High School.
Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:
1.What is the reading comprehension of the respondents?
2.What is the academic performance of the respondents?
3.Is there a significant relationship between reading comprehension level
and academic performance of the respondents?
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:
 To investigate the students' perception of their own reading
comprehension skills and the strategies they employ to improve their
reading comprehension.
 To offer insights and suggestions for educators, administrators, and
policymakers at GFMINHS to better support students in improving their
reading comprehension and overall academic success.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY:
Results of the study can be beneficial to the following:

SCHOOL: This will be used to identify underperforming students and
provide them with early intervention opportunities in order to boost their
performance. Teacher. The result from this study will give them information
they needed when planning for the teaching strategy or method to be more
effective in the classroom.
STUDENTS: This study will help them evaluate their reading

comprehension skill and its effect to their academic performance.
FUTURE RESEARCHERS: This study can be used as reference of their

study. Provides additional evidence to support the findings that a
relationship between reading comprehension level and academic
performance exists and that it changes over time depending upon the age
level being examined. Scope and Limitation of Study This descriptive
correlational research aimed to determine the significant relationship
between reading comprehension level and academic performance of Grade
12 students of governor ferrer memorial integrated national high school.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY:
This study is conducted in S.Y 2023 – 2024 of Governor Ferrer Memorial

Integrated National Highschool. The selected respondents of this study are
the Grade 12 HUMSS, mainly focusing on their reading comprehension
level and academic performance. The study did not include students from
the other strand and also outside the campus.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
These questions are directly related to the research objectives and guide the
study's data collection and analysis. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEVELS OF READING
COMPREHENSION AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG GRADE 12 HUMSS
STUDENTS OF GFMINHS:
1. What are the reading comprehension levels of Grade 12 HUMSS
students at GFMINHS based on standardized reading
comprehension assessments?
2. What is the distribution of academic performance, as measured by
CGPAs or subject-specific scores, among Grade 12 HUMSS students
at GFMINHS?
3. Is there a statistically significant correlation between reading
comprehension levels and academic performance among Grade 12
HUMSS students at GFMINHS?

4. What are the potential factors that may mediate or moderate the
relationship between reading comprehension and academic
performance in this student population?
5. Are there significant gender-based differences in reading
comprehension levels and academic performance among Grade 12
HUMSS students at GFMINHS?
6. How do Grade 12 HUMSS students at GFMINHS perceive their own
reading comprehension abilities, and what strategies do they employ
to improve their reading comprehension skills?
7. What recommendations can be made to enhance reading
comprehension skills among Grade 12 HUMSS students at
GFMINHS to positively influence their academic performance?
8. How can educators, administrators, and policymakers at GFMINHS
better support students in improving their reading comprehension and
overall academic success based on the findings of this study?
HYPOTHESIS:
There is no significant relationship between reading

comprehension level and academic performance.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:
Reading Comprehension Level

examination performance (Cambridge University Reporter, 2003).
In this study the Academic Performance refers to
the1stGradingPeriod Grade Point Average (GPA) of the students.

a relation existing between phenomena or things or between
mathematical or statistical variables which tend to vary, be
associated, or occur together in a way not expected on the basis
of chance alone (Merriam Dictionary). In this study correlation
refers to the relationship of Reading Comprehension Level to the
Academic Performance of the student. Reading Comprehension.
