The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between reading motivation and silent reading level in English of the Grade 6 pupils. Specifically, it describes the pupils in terms of their sex, grade in English 5, and reading materials commonly read. It also determined the respondents’ reading motivation as to challenge, curiosity, involvement, competition, and compliance; reading level in terms of comprehension and speed; and the significant difference of reading motivation and silent reading level in English as to their profile.
The data were gathered from 302 Grade 6 pupils from the different schools in the District of Baler using questionnaire as the main instrument and the Phil-IRI pre-test result in the School Year 2016-2017.
The male and female respondents were almost equal in number. They performed satisfactorily to very satisfactory in English during their 5th grade and commonly read story books. They were slightly motivated to read due to the challenge contained in the reading materials, curiosity to something, self-involvement in the scenario, and compliance of doing so. Majority of them have a reading comprehension under frustration level and a reading speed under slow level.
Challenge and involvement as a reading motivation have significant relationship to the reading ability in terms of speed significantly differ in the English 5 grade of the pupils. Thus, teachers, parents, school administrators, supervisors, and DepEd in particular must join hands in designing, providing complete reading materials especially the updated ones for K-12 Curriculum, and facilitating reading motivational activities that would challenge, awaken curiosity and involvement as part of pupils’ requirements. Teaching and learning process in teaching English in primary grade levels must be given emphasis to meet the reading level expected from each grade level.
