Reading Comprehension and Academic Performance of Grade 6 Learners: Towards a Reading Comprehension Program
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2025, Vol 36, Issue 5
Abstract
This study explored the relationship between reading comprehension skills and academic performance among Grade 6 learners, aiming to develop a reading comprehension program that enhances both skills and overall academic success. The study was conducted with 200 Grade 6 learners from a public school, examining various factors such as household income, parental education, and the types of reading materials learners engage with. The results showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension skills from the pretest to the posttest, with many students progressing from a "Frustration" level to an "Independent" reading level. Additionally, parental education level and the types of reading materials were found to have a significant correlation with academic performance, while household income did not show a notable relationship. Based on these findings, the study recommends the implementation of a comprehensive reading comprehension program, increased parental involvement, teacher professional development, and continuous assessment to further enhance reading skills and academic achievement. The proposed program aims to foster a more robust reading culture, improve comprehension abilities, and ultimately contribute to better academic outcomes for Grade 6 learners.
