individuals to read, comprehend and interpret written word on a reading materials.
This study aims determine the reading performance of Grade 7 of Boracay
National High School during the S.Y 2019-2020. A total of 242 respondents, the
researchers used descriptive design to gather the data needed for the study.

The objectives of the researchers for the study were answered relevantly.
The researchers find out that the factors affecting the grade -7 students are their
reading skills. The researchers found out that there are 48 (19.8%) grade -7
students who have a high school level of reading, 86 (35.5%) were 8 th grade level
of reading, 47(19.4%) were 7th grade level of reading, and 21(8.7%) were 6 th grade
level of reading. There are 8(3.3%) of respondents read only a few words correctly
and they are considered as a non-readers. Furthermore, most of the students can
read the words correctly; however, there are a small percentage of the respondents
needed attentions as they have so many mispronounced, skipped and unfamiliar
words.

The result will be interpreted by using the table, frequency, and percentage.
The data will be analysed by counting the frequency of their score and the grade of
the respondents reading level based on the slosson tool.
