Factors Affecting the Reading Performance of Grades 4-6
Non-Readers in English in the District of Sta. Rita II
Research Gap/Problem
Based on records through the conduct of group screening
test using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PhilIRI), the researcher found out that there are 23 non-readers
in English in the District of Sta. Rita II. 7 of them are from
fourth grade, 9 are from fifth grade and 7 are from sixth
grade. In particular, this proposed research will look into the
difficulties that the learners have encountered in reading atlevel text.
Research Goal
This proposed research aims to determine the factors why the
Grades 4-6 non-readers in English in the District of Sta. Rita
II failed to meet the standards in reading leveled text or
graded passage.
Thesis Statement
The researcher claims that if we will be able to determine the
reasons or factors why these learners failed to meet the
standards in reading leveled text or graded passage we can
offer set of activities designed to address student-specific
reading difficulties and we can design and provide
appropriate reading instruction to cater students’ current
reading levels and abilities.
