Abstract

Reading is a key to unlock the ignorance and it will lead us and give us knowledge. It is very important because it can also mold minds and can affect the character of the reader to be a good person. It gives knowledgeable information that can satisfy and answer our biggest questions in life. According to Manalo (2010), “Knowledge is power” and it starts in a person is willing to learn from reading. In this study, we focused on the reading difficulties and the strategies that can improve the level of reading comprehension of the students. We used multiple kinds of methods to verify and to determine the proper strategies in improving the reading comprehension of the students. We focused on the 20 teachers (respondents) that responded to a set of questions in our survey. The descriptive method is a scientific method with observation and descriptive analysis of a certain topic. According to Besrt at Kahn (2006), the descriptive method is a way to determine and explain the whole features of the topic that have relevance in a particular period. This method is appropriate in this research because it clarifies and describes the whole features of the topic and the data gathered through quantitative analysis. Reliable and accurate references are the basis of this research. Respondents (Teachers) are the focus of the problem and the responses are the key to comprehend the problem. Participants who are Teacher I with a total experience in teaching and attended school-based seminars were in the highest rank. The SQ3R or Survey, Question, Review, Recall and Recite strategy was also in the highest rank. It is the appropriate strategy to improve the level of reading comprehension of the students. Also, having enough time to teach reading is also considered to improve the level of comprehension. Therefore, the effectiveness of these results is the solution to the crisis in this research. This will serve as a guide to all teachers to teach reading properly through the use of effective strategies. The results may become actions to solve problems in reading comprehension. The goal of reading is to comprehend and apply what is read to real-world experiences. The acquisition of reading skills and strategies is developed and influenced by students' individual experiences and their motivation. Strategies are suitable to lessen the number of students with low comprehension in reading.
