Many problems are being encountered in the Philippine educational system among these are inadequate facilities and equipment and lack of instructional materials. Hence, one of the major goals of the Department of Education (Department of Education) is to make every Filipino child a successful reader at his appropriate level by the end of Grade Three. Teachers have to employ different approaches in order for them to learn to comprehend easily what they have read. This prompted the researcher to develop enrichment activities using video lessons in teaching reading and determine its effectiveness.

METHODS

The experimental research method was applied. The experimental group was exposed to the developed enrichment activities using video lessons in teaching Reading while the control group was exposed to the traditional method of teaching. Pretest and posttest were used as instruments to determine the level of reading comprehension skills of the pupils.

RESULTS

The results of this study showed that there are more male respondents than females. The majority belong to low-income families and most of their parents did not finish college education. In the pretest, the grade four pupils in the experimental and control groups have moderately satisfactory reading comprehension skills. In the posttest, the experimental group obtained a Very Satisfactory reading comprehension skills while the control group obtained Satisfactory reading comprehension skills. Reading comprehension skills of the experimental group in the pretest and posttest differ significantly. Similarly, there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension skills of the control group in the pretest and posttest. Reading comprehension skills of the pupils exposed and unexposed to enrichment activities using video lessons differ significantly as revealed in the posttest results. Reading comprehension skills of the pupils exposed to enrichment activities using video lessons differ significantly when they are grouped according to sibling position, monthly family income, and mothers' educational attainment. On the other hand, sex and fathers' educational attainment are not significant in the reading comprehension skills of the pupils.

Teachers may continuously utilize technology resources in teaching reading and in other subjects to motivate learners and achieve better learning outcomes. Pupils may be exposed to more enrichment activities using videos for a more enjoyable teaching-learning process.
