Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Reading habit has been a problem for the learners to this modern technology age and should be addressed. The learners experience difficulty in reading comprehension and most of them neglected reading. For these reasons, the researcher conceptualized an intervention material that determined its effectiveness in improving the reading comprehension skills. CPR (Compilation of Practice Reading) is an accumulation of intervention reading materials with activities that develop vocabulary and comprehension skills of the learners.

METHODS

The study was conducted to the 21 Grade 5 learners of Rizal Elementary School of Diffun, Quirino using CPR as an intervention to improve their reading comprehension ability using the universal or take all techniques.

RESULTS

The pretest scores of the pupils before "CPR" was introduced presents that pupils achieved good scores in reading comprehension. This specifies the information that pupils performed the task given before it was conducted. The posttest scores ofthe pupils tell that pupils garnered very good scores. This affords data that pupils have improved in the task given as they performed very satisfactorily after the given intervention. It transpires that there is a significant difference and it implies that "CPR" the intervention was effective. In this study, it provides evidence that the intervention made is appropriate to the learners.
