The area of focus for my project is improving Reading Comprehension Through the Use of
Higher Order Thinking Skill Activities. Without the solid foundation of reading skill the researcher feels
the children will be struggle hard throughout their schooling and adult life. By learning the best
comprehension strategies and how to best teach these strategies to the pupils, the researcher hopes to
provide the solid foundation needed to succeed . Although the school's NAT result has meet or exceed
its expectation, still the researcher has a thought of a way to improve it. In reading class, the grade
eleven pupils scored84%, but the scores dropped in the 4th grade. So the researcher concludes that the
pupils score in Mathematics decreases because of the pupils have very poor higher - order thinking skills
to increase reading test scores and develop meaningful reading experience to the pupils.
As the researcher of this research, I have found out that many of my pupils in grade eleven are
able to read fluently, but still have difficulty in answering the "how" and "why" questions. I am hoping
that by incorporating higher order thinking skills my pupils would be able to transfer and make
connections to reading. This is important in order for a child to be successful. I feel that incorporating
reading strategies and showing students how to reflect about what they have read, would improve their
reading comprehension and to become life-long learners. I am looking forward to working on this area
of concern, and sharing my findings with my co-teachers.
The study will be deemed important for the proper recognition of the improving Reading
Comprehension in Mathematics Through the use of higher - order thinking activities on the academic
Performance of the grade eleven pupils, Likewise, the findings of this research may prove useful to the
following, to wit;
Pupils. Having a clearer view and firsthand experience of the teacher's performance, this
will further enhance pupil's knowledge of the importance of mastering the basic skills of their
competencies so they will make an effort to do best. This may lead to better enthusiasm in Mathematics
and develop good study habit.
Teachers. This study may heighten their awareness in identifying the learning tasks that
are well developed as well as the least. This may further be a motivating factor in Mathematics to adapt
measures and new strategies for the improvement of instructions in reading.
Parents. The result of this study will serve as bird's eye view of the parent to know the
needs of their children with regards to improving their reading comprehension.
School Administrator and Supervisors. Results of this investigation may encourage administrators
and supervisors help their teachers upgrade their teaching performance in improving reading
comprehension through closer supervision and faculty development and training programs.
Department of Education Division of Laguna specially Pakil District. With the use of the
results of the study, any educational upliftment will benefit the municipality of Pakil, Laguna as it may
improve the quality of working force of the municipality or the quality of life of their respective
constituents.
Curriculum Planners. The findings of this study may assists the planners in the proper
selection of methods, techniques, and strategies that need to be reinforced.
Community. The result of this study may benefit the community in as much they know
that the teachers of their children are equipped with the necessary tools and competence in teaching
them.
Researcher Himself. This may serve as inspiration in teaching his pupils above and
beyond his capacity.
Future Researcher. The information and insights that will be gained from this study may
serve as guide for other researcher in framing their conceptual framework and design and at the same
time encourage them to conduct lateral studies within their area of preferences.
V- Scope of the Study
The general focus of the present study was on the Improving Reading Comprehension in
Mathematics Through the use of Higher Order Thinking Skills Activities of the grade eleven pupils in Pakil
Senior High School, District of Pakil, Division of Laguna. The study covered the worded problem solving
assessment result of the school year 2017-2018 utilizing the post -test. The aspect s in Improving
Reading Comprehension in Mathematics that the present study will look into the different reading
strategies. Predicting, making connections, visualizing, Inferring, questioning, and summarizing are
shown on this research to improve reading comprehension.

A. Methodology
This study employ the pre-Experimental one shot case study. According to De
Jesus the pre experimental one shot case study is a design in which a single group is only studied
once, subsequent to a treatment is the instruction of reading strategies . It is important to teach the
strategies by naming the strategy and how it should be used, modelling through think aloudprocess,
The second tool used was the Phil-Iri test administered to the pupils in the grade
eleven pupils in the first week of July, 2017. This tool used to determine student growth in reading
comprehension in Mathematics.
The teacher observation checklist was used by the researcher to gather data
throughout the intervention. This tool provides information of changes on how well his pupils
B. Sampling Design
The pupils who were selected were enrolled in the third grade class for the school year 2011-2012.
The Metacomprehension Strategy Index had a total of 25 questions that asked about the
strategies pupils used to help them better understand the worded problem.
