The ability to read was an important skill in today’s modern world where so much information is transmitted in written form. It is important that people have reading skills whether they are in school or not. This is a challenge to teachers in the junior high school level on how they nurture grade 9 learners to learn proper reading in their respective grade level. The purpose of this research topic emanated from an observation from past research that, levels of reading difficulties among junior high school are still very high in the Philippines and is not an exception (Kelly, 2019). Philippines could possibly be having thousands of learners who have severe reading problems which have not been detected. Therefore, there is a need to identify and understand these reading comprehension difficulties early in life and the challenges they bring about so that the situation could possibly be changed for the better. This study involved teachers in grade 9 in selected public schools in Davao City. This group was chosen because, the following year, they are supposed to be in grade 10 to write their examinations which are to be read and answered in English without anybody’s help. These examinations are very critical as they determine whether the students will proceed to college education or not. Therefore, it is expected that by the time a student reaches grade 10, they must be competent in reading as preparation for their college life.
