Abstract
This research assessed the relationship between Grade 10 students’ reading comprehension and problem-solving skills of Grade 10 students at D.T. Durano Memorial Integrated School in Danao City Division for the school year 2022-2023 as the basis for an action plan. The data gathered were treated using frequency count, percentage, and Pearson’s r. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, 166 high school students at D.T. Durano Memorial Integrated School were surveyed using a questionnaire to collect data for the study. The correlation between reading comprehension and problem-solving skills was statistically significant. The null hypothesis was therefore refuted, and the research hypothesis was confirmed. This suggests that students with higher reading comprehension are more adept at solving problems. In addition, most respondents demonstrated acceptable reading comprehension and problem- solving skills. Most parents are high school graduates, and most respondents combined monthly family income is below PHP 10,000. This study's findings have significant implications for educators and policymakers in developing and implementing reading comprehension and problem-solving instruction. In addition, this research contributes to the literature regarding the relationship between reading comprehension and problem-solving skills.
