Filipino Language Proficiency, Reading Comprehension and Academic Performance Among Grade 5 At Malaban East Elementary School

Abstract In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, learners are expected to develop strong foundational competencies that extend beyond basic literacy to include language proficiency, comprehension skills, and academic performance. Filipino language proficiency, in particular, plays a crucial role in shaping students’ ability to understand, interpret, and communicate ideas effectively across learning areas. This study examined the relationship between Filipino language proficiency, reading comprehension, and academic performance in the Filipino subject and other subjects where Filipino was the medium of instruction, such as Filipino, Araling Panlipunan, Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to determine the level of proficiency of pupils in using the Filipino language in reading and academic performance particularly among the Grade 5 pupils. It also investigated the significant relationships among these variables. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized in the study. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire and were analyzed using frequency and percentage and spearman rho.
The findings reveal that respondents demonstrate a generally strong level of Filipino language proficiency, characterized by high reading accuracy, good reading speed, and strong reading comprehension, although reading fluency requires further improvement. Learners exhibit satisfactory reading comprehension skills overall, with some needing enhancement in understanding written texts. In terms of academic performance, pupils show satisfactory to commendable achievement in Filipino, GMRC, Araling Panlipunan, and EPP, with particularly strong aptitude in EPP.
A significant but weak relationship exists between reading speed and reading comprehension, while reading accuracy shows no significant influence, suggesting that factors such as vocabulary and cognitive processing play a greater role once basic decoding skills are achieved. Furthermore, no significant relationships were found between learners’ Filipino language proficiency or reading comprehension and their academic performance across the subjects mentioned.
