effectiveness of specific reading interventions implemented

in the school to enhance the reading comprehension

abilities of Grade 3 students. The objectives of this

incorporating quantitative and qualitative data collection

methods. The quantitative aspect involves administering

pre- and post-intervention reading comprehension tests to

measure the students’ reading performance and track

improvements over time. Additionally, student demographic

information and academic records will be examined to

identify potential factors that may influence reading

comprehension outcomes. Complementing the quantitative

data, qualitative data will be gathered through interviews

and observations to gain insights into the students’

experiences with the implemented reading interventions.

Teachers, parents, and school administrators will be

interviewed to understand their perspectives on the

effectiveness of the interventions, the challenges

encountered during implementation, and their

recommendations for improvement. In analysing the data, the

researcher classified pupils’ ability based on the survey

then interpreted the questionnaires. Researcher used Likert

Scale in measuring the responses on the questionnaires and

to analyze the data to know the factor that affect on

students’ comprehension ability. The result showed that in

Eventually, the research aims to provide evidence-based

recommendations for the improvement of reading
