Reading comprehension plays an important role in students being able to perform well in school especially when it comes to learning the Filipino Language. Some Junior High School Students encounter difficulty in their reading comprehension such as understanding, interpreting and analyzing the text. Therefore, innovative and creative strategies should be implemented to improve reading comprehension. The purpose of this study is to determine how effective it is for Junior High School Students to comprehend reading materials when innovative strategies are being used in their Filipino classes. We want to identify how students can comprehend the reading materials, whether the new methods are effective, and the challenges students face in comprehending reading materials. A descriptive type of research design will be used and some Junior High School Students will be asked to participate. Data will be collected by administering reading comprehension tests and other instruments. Data will then be analyzed using statistical methods such as frequency, percentage and mean to determine how effectively students can comprehend reading materials. Hopefully, this study will provide some useful concepts on how to effectively teach Filipino. The results can also help create more effective teaching strategies, improve the classroom environment and improve students’ reading comprehension skills.
