During the opening of the classes for the A.Y. 2014-2015, the English teachers conducted a Pre-reading activity (Phil IRI) as part of the annual program of the Department of Education to assess whether the students are Independent reader, Instructional reader or Frustration reader. It is found out that among 2,525 students in ANHS-Dela Paz Extension, 544 students are INDEPENDENT readers, 1,790 students are INSTRUCTIONAL readers and 181 (7.17%) students are FRUSTATION readers.

              The result of the Pre-reading activity (Phil IRI) has been proven to be very alarming to the English teachers and this opens the opportunity to conduct the reading intervention program for Frustration readers.

               It was observed that during the reading intervention, the students are doing the “word calling” where they sound out words but they do not know what the word means. This was given emphasis and led to the discussion of the reading strategies to achieve reading comprehension since; we believe that, when one reads, there must be comprehension otherwise no reading takes place. This has been found to be helpful to the students’ reading achievement.

              The result of the reading intervention propitiously turned to be a good sign of improvement which is evident in the result of the Post-reading activity where the number of frustration readers decreased by 3.45%.
