PCS female respondents acquired the highest mean average score in getting the main idea with a mean average of 3.43 indicating that they performed best in this skill while they least performed in silent reading with a mean average of 1.76. Their performances in other skills were Context Clues (x=3.22), noting detailes (x=2.96) and vocabulary enrichment (x=3.36). The reading comprehension of the male respondents of Paco Catholic School garnered their highest score in noting details (x=2.59) and the lowest in silent reading (x=1.32) denoting that like their female counterparts, they also performed least in reading for understanding. Performances in other reading comprehension skills had the following results: context clues (x=2.57), vocabulary enrichment (x=2.49) and getting the main idea (x=2.32). The researchers computed value of t is 2.58 which fall under the region of rejection .
