Abstract:
Reading is regarded as a vital skill in attaining proficiency and widening knowledge in different subjects. The research aimed to establish
the relationship of reading comprehension to academic performance
in Mathematics. The respondents were the freshmen students in specified Math in the Modern World course. This study employed descriptive quantitative design. A researcher-made instrument which underwent experts’ validation and reliability test was used in determining
the comprehension level in reading of the respondents. The results
specified that positive correlation of reading comprehension and academic performance exists. Based on the results, there exists a highly
significant difference between the reading comprehension level of the
participants and their academic performance in their math courses.
Moreover, with the generated value of .298, it can be inferred that that
there is a positive relationship between the variables. This means if
one variable increases the other variable moderately increases.
