The study participants were 54 seventh-grade students from Baltazar Nicor Valenzuela National High School. The study introduced an intervention called the Graphic Organizer Intervention to enhance student performance in the four levels of reading comprehension: literal, interpretive, evaluative, and creative. The pre-test and post-test results showed a significant difference: the pre-test had a mean score of 12.8 (SD = 3.17), while the post-test showed a mean score of 24.7 (SD = 2.26). The statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension following the intervention, t (53) = 22.1, P<0.001. These findings suggest that the use of graphic organizers effectively enhanced students’ comprehension skills. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the students' insights during and after the intervention, the researchers conducted interviews with selected individuals. From the responses gathered, six themes emerged regarding the insights of students: (1) Increased Comprehension and Focus, (2) Motivation and Positive Reading Habits, (3) Academic Improvement and Performance Outcomes, (4) Autonomy and Lifelong Application of Reading Strategies, and (5) Visual Learning as a Bridge to Comprehension.
