This study examined the effectiveness of a guided reading intervention in improving the reading comprehension performance of Grade 2 learners at Cabaruan Integrated School, Maddela, Quirino. Forty-five learners participated in the study using simple random sampling. Pre-test and post-test assessments and a reading attitude and engagement questionnaire were utilized to gather data. Results showed that the learners’ mean reading comprehension score increased from 12.67 in the pre-test to 17.84 in the post-test. The paired-sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (t = 9.84, p < .05), indicating improved reading comprehension after the intervention. The findings demonstrate that guided reading can enhance learners’ comprehension while promoting positive reading attitudes and active engagement in reading activities.
