These subjects were divided into two levels of high and low ability and were assigned to four tasks, namely: listening, listening + oral reading, listening + silent reading and purely reading by random sampling. Two kinds of materials were presented: the story type and factual stories selected from the basic readers, stories from books of grade IV-VI, magazine and selection compiled by the teachers to the subjects to measure their comprehension. A tape recorder and mimeograph copies of the selection were used to present the materials. Five questions after every selection were answered to measure their comprehension. The results indicated that children who read the selections showed better comprehension than any of the tasks. Similarly, the children who listened and read silently the materials simultaneously did not show a remarkable difference. Listening + oral reading and purely listening did not show relative effectiveness or the same degree of accuracy as the first task. The findings show that reading is effective as proven in the research made and the result suggest that reading in the third grade be developed and be given emphasis in the daily activities to develop and improve further comprehension. Hence, multi-level reading materials should be produced.en-USThesis
