Abstract: This study aimed to develop the reading comprehension skills of Grade 10 students at Glan School of Arts and Trades. It specifically sought to determine reading comprehension level, reading preferences, narrative experiences related to comprehension, and the validation level of the developed module. The researcher employed the Research and Development (R&D) design combined with an Embedded Mixed Method approach. The study involved 137 student respondents determined through Cochran's Formula for the quantitative phase, and two participants from each of the six (6) groups for the qualitative phase. Findings revealed that the students exhibited a high level of reading comprehension, with a mean score of 16.34%, described as highly satisfactory. However, within this range, some students still fell under the satisfactory level, indicating the need for further improvement, supported by their shared comprehension experiences. The study also found a strong preference for reading based on topic, literary genre, and writing style. Moreover, the developed module obtained a very high validation rating with a mean score of 4.47. In conclusion, the developed module is recommended, as it may serve as an effective tool for enhancing students' reading comprehension skills.
