Abstract:
Reading comprehension serves as a fundamental aspect of literacy, exerting significant impact on both personal achievement and societal progress. In today's age of rapid information dissemination, the ability to comprehend diverse texts is more crucial than ever. This study examines the effectiveness of the Reading-in-Tandem partner reading strategy in enhancing the reading comprehension skills of selected Grade 8 instructional readers at New Cabalan National High School during the 2023-2024 school year. Utilizing a one-group experimental design, the research assessed the impact of this enhancement program. Purposive sampling was used to select eight Grade 8 students identified as instructional readers. Data collection involved pre-test and post-test assessments, as well as continuous monitoring throughout the implementation of the Reading-in-Tandem strategy. Descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were employed for data analysis. The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in students' reading comprehension skills, with 3 out of 8 students progressing to an independent reading level. These results emphasize the effectiveness of the Reading-in-Tandem strategy in enhancing reading comprehension skills among Grade 8 students. The study concludes with recommendations for the integration and further exploration of partner reading strategies in educational contexts.
