INTRODUCTION

As life evolves, each and everyone needs capital which, if improved or enhanced, may serve as weapon to surpass future challenges--it is the unique brilliance of mankind. Everybody's success depends on his intellectuality which we may have through reading; one of the significant macro skills that must be taught and enriched.

In the process of teaching and learning, the key aspect of reading is to enrich the comprehension skill of the students. Comprehension and appropriate use of words are essential for students to communicate. While the acquisition of knowledge and understanding of the content of reading materials are expected to be part of teachers' roles. Too much to say, it goes on with the development of materials that may aid them.

This study aimed to develop enrichment activities on the level of reading comprehension and sought answers to identify the following: (1) very useful reading comprehension skill; (2)level of reading comprehension of the students relevant to different reading skills; (3) frequency of strategies that the teachers are using to uplift the level of reading comprehension; (5) weight of difficulty experienced by the teachers in enriching the said skills and (6) propose enrichment activities to be developed to help the students.
