Abstract
This study aimed to identify the factors related to the reading comprehension abilities and numerical abilities through the demographic profile of the respondents in term of age, sex, family background, economic status, technological devices use and academic performance; the reading comprehension level of the respondents in terms of literal, inferential and evaluative; and the numerical abilities level of the respondents in terms of emergent, perceptual, figurative and counting. A quantitative-correlational research design was used in this study. The respondents of the study were the 25 Grade-5 pupils of Jicontol Elementary School Dolores II District. In order to collect data and provide answers to the research hypothesis, a survey questionnaire were given to the pupils on reading comprehension abilities and numerical abilities questions and validated through an initial testing at a nearby school. Spearman Rank of Correlation were used to determine the relationship between demographic profile, reading comprehension abilities and numerical abilities of the respondents. The findings aim to provide interventions that improve reading comprehension and numerical abilities of the learners.
