Abstract

INTRODUCTION

It is undeniably evident that comprehension is an area of concern in attaining higher results since the skill transcends all subjects. However, problems continuously occur on education institution. Remediation is being conducted to combat such problem. This study posed to investigate the relation between the comprehension and sequencing skills among Grade Six pupils of Patnanungan Norte Elementary School, for the S.Y 2017-2018 with an end view of proposing an intervention program which would accelerate the comprehension and sequencing skills of the respondents.

METHODS

The study was a correlation research that tends to predict outcomes between variables. This research was Descriptive in nature employing qualitative and quantitative approaches. The researcher used mean percentage, and Pearson r as statistical tools.

RESULTS

Out of 54 pupil-respondents, 30 were female while 24 were male, while the biggest group of grade six were 11-12 years old.
