The comparison of the pretest, posttest average reading grade and reading age score capacity levels of the control group shows slight improvement as shown in the difference of the pretest reading grade capacity level of 2-9.8 to the posttest of 3-1.4, a difference of 1.6 months; that is, the control group has shown an average reading grade capacity level of an average readings grade capacity level of an average child who has been in grade three for 1.4 months and the reading age capacity level of an average eight years and 2.1 month old child, which is a little better than entry age capacity of an average eight year and one half month old pupil. The experimental and control group has more or less the same or parallel entry reading grade and age capacity level which is between an average child who is aged eight year and 3 months to 8.5 months with a reading grade capacity level of an average child between 6.5 to 9.8 months stay in grade 2. The use of the silent reading comprehension exercises in teaching silent reading is of great help to Grade Five pupils.
