The Effect of Weekly Reading Sessions on DSGCI

SHS Students English Reading Comprehension

Introduction

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the acquisition of proficient English reading

comprehension skills stands as a fundamental cornerstone for academic success and

lifelong learning. English reading comprehension is an essential ability that students at

DSGCI Senior High School (SHS) must learn. It goes beyond the classroom and helps

them navigate a world where language is used to communicate more and more. This

study aims to investigate the transformative potential of a focused intervention: weekly

reading sessions intended to improve DSGCI SHS students' English reading

comprehension skills.

In the multifaceted journey of education, the mastery of English reading comprehension

is a pivotal element that unlocks a myriad of opportunities. Like many other educational

establishments, DSGCI SHS struggles to provide its students with a strong foundation

in reading. Reading comprehension is more than just being able to understand words; it

also includes being able to draw conclusions, extract meaning, and interact critically

with a variety of textual materials. Understanding how important it is to address this

issue, the school has instituted weekly reading sessions as a focused intervention to

create a setting where students' English reading comprehension skills may be

improved.
Through this research, we hope to shed light on the complexities of improving English

reading comprehension in the setting of DSGCI SHS. Specifically, by analyzing the

impact of weekly reading sessions, we hope to provide insightful information that will

benefit instructional strategies, strengthen teachers' abilities, and ultimately help

students become competent readers and critical thinkers. Through this investigation, we

hope to learn more about the difficulties DSGCI SHS students encounter and to shed

light on how to promote a reading culture that incorporates every aspect of their

academic experience and goes beyond the classroom.
