I. Introduction

Reading is an activity characterized by the translation of symbols or letters, into

words and sentences that have meaning to the individual. It has been indispensable

tool to equip oneself with significant ideas contributory to the development of student’s

intellect, character, and personality. The ultimate goal of reading is to be able to under-

stand written material, to evaluate it, and to use it for one`s need as it has accompa-

nied every person`s pursuit for discoveries and advancements.

high level of proficiency in reading with comprehension. Thus, the main aim of the ad-

ministration of Phil– IRI is to assess the reading level of each students as well as en-

sion serves as a key to gain all the benefits derived from reading.

According to Flood (2003), every man who knows how to read has in his power to

magnify himself, to multiply the ways, in which one exist, to make his life full significant
