Using a standardized leveled reading instrument, this study determined the reading levels of the Grade 7 students of the Mataas na Paaralang Juan C. Laya, SY 2012-013. This served as the basis in the adoption and implementation of level-appropriate materials which were implemented for two months. Using time-series experimental design, it found out that before the implementation of the level-appropriate materials, the subjects’ average reading level was equivalent to Grade level 3 and that after the experiment, this level upgraded one grade higher. This led to the conclusion that the level-appropriate materials were contributory to the upgrading of the reading level of the subjects.enThesis
