ABSTRACT
This study employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design to determine the effectiveness of the reading comprehension strategy. concentrating on reading issues among students from Barangay Babag and Naboc who are enrolled in the Alternative Learning System (ALS). Reading comprehension had improved, according to competency tests conducted before and after. According to the findings, learners who participated in the intervention experienced increases in both categories that were statistically significant. This implies that it could be a helpful method for enhancing reading comprehension in the context of ALS. Further research should examine the curriculum’s long-term effectiveness and potential applications with different ALS learners’ types and settings.
