Keywords:
Textbook-Based, Instructional Materials, Development, Grade VIAbstract
This study attempted to determine the reading comprehension difficulties in English of the Grade VI pupils during the school year 1992-1993. As to the hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference between the reading comprehension difficulty level in English of Grade VI pupils coming from central school and those from the barrio schools, the hypothesis is also rejected. Barrio schools have a higher difficulty level in reading comprehension than the central school. There is no significant difference between the reading comprehension difficulty level in English of male and female grade six pupils. Male grade six pupils have a higher difficulty level than that of the females. There is no significant difference between the reading comprehension difficulty level of younger and older grade six pupils. The older grade six pupils have a higher difficulty level than the younger grade six pupils. The fifteen skills of the textbook-based instructional materials developed by the researcher were found to be effective for use in the development of the reading skills of the grade six pupils in reading in English. The textbook-based instructional materials were found to be within the reading level of the grade six pupils. The textbook-based instructional materials were acceptable and appropriate in terms of physical aspect, instruction of learners, learning activities, and evaluation measures.
