Abstract This study assessed the impact of pictures on reading comprehension of Grade III pupils in Gloria district. The researcher utilized quantitative research method, specifically quasi-experimental methods using pictures as media during instruction as the intervention to the study. Eighty-three (83) Grade 3 pupils were randomly selected by the researcher to be her participating pupils for this study. The researcher conducted reading sessions for three days for the pupils of the group without treatment and group with treatment to enhance their reading comprehension using reading passages from Phil-IRI Manual 2018. However, the reading sessions differ as the researcher taught reading comprehension to the group with treatment using pictures while reading passages with plain texts only were used for the group without treatment. The mean was computed to identify average scores in the pretests and posttests of the two groups. Moreover, an independent t-test was used to compare the pretest scores of the groups with and without treatment and the posttest scores of the groups with and without treatment. Likewise, paired t-test was used to determine whether the results were statistically significant or not. It was also utilized to determine if there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the two groups. Results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the two groups. The posttest mean scores of the group with treatment were higher than the posttest mean scores group without treatment. The researcher recommended the teachers in the elementary level to adopt the reading enhancement strategies such as using pictures or incorporating interesting media into the teaching and learning process as the study suggests that improving students' reading skills, particularly in English can be achieved by it. Thus, using these reading enhancement strategies can enhance the reading performance level of elementary pupils.
