abstract = {This research study was done to examine the reading competency and academic performance of 185
first year college students of ISU, San Mariano Campus for SY 2020 – 2021. It also attempted to
investigate the relationship that exists between reading competency and the academic achievement of
the respondents; and to develop an intervention program. Descriptive statistics was used to establish
their reading competency level and in analyzing the association that exists between their reading
competency and academic achievement, chi – square test for independent, t – test and one way
analysis of variance were utilized. About the conclusions of this investigation, only a few numbers of
the respondents earned a satisfactory academic achievement. Most of the respondents reading
competency level was classed as developing. There was no significant difference between the reading
competence of the respondents when categorized according to course and sex. The BSIT respondents
had a considerably lower general Weighted Average (GWA) as compared to the BSED, BAT, and
BSHM respondents and there was no significant difference between the grades of the male and the
male respondents. The respondents with competent level of reading competency earned a
considerably higher GWA than the respondents with beginning, developing and approaching
proficiency levels. It is proposed that considerable mentorship on reading comprehension must be
practiced by English faculty members. In addition, a monthly activity like reading and
comprehension competition must be introduced in the campus to increase the reading skill of the
respondents and the campus library should serve as an ideal setting where students can do volunteer
reading activity.},
