Abstract	This study determined the influence of grit level on the reading comprehension of Grade 12 students at Rolando R. Andaya Sr. Memorial High School in the Pasacao-District, Division of Camarines Sur for S/Y 2025-2026. It further identified the grit level of students in terms of overcoming setbacks, attaining goals, and sustaining interest. The study also examined the level of students’ reading comprehension in the literal, inferential, and critical levels. Furthermore, it assessed the significant relationship between grit level and reading comprehension. The extent to which grit level influences students’ reading comprehension was likewise determined. Based on the findings, a learning module was developed to help improve both the grit level and reading comprehension of the students. The study involved a total enumeration of two hundred Grade 12 students who served as the respondents of the research. A descriptive–correlational research design was utilized to describe the levels of grit and reading comprehension and to determine the relationship between the two variables. Weighted Mean, Performance Level, Standard Deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Coefficient of Determination and modified ADDIE model were utilized in treating the collected data from respondents. Major conclusions were: Grade 12 students demonstrate moderate overall grit, with the strongest performance in sustaining interest, followed by attaining goals, and the lowest in overcoming setbacks; students exhibit average performance in literal and critical reading comprehension but show developing performance in inferential comprehension, indicating challenges in higher-order thinking and making inferences from texts; grit levels have a selective impact on reading comprehension, showing weak but significant positive relationships only with inferential comprehension through attaining goals and sustaining interest; and grit in terms of attaining goals and sustaining interest has a positive but limited effect on inferential reading comprehension
