             instructional skills in teaching Reading in mother tongue were determined using the Average
             Weighted Mean, on the other hand, the difference between the teachers, profile and their level

             performing impressively in terms of instructional skills in Reading in Mother Tongue, respondents
             do not vary in their relationships with Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing in certain times
             however, there are times and cases which are comparable.
                    Recommendations  are  hereby  presented  based  on  the  findings  and  conclusions.  A
             continuous  well-designed  In-Service  Training  Program  for  Instructional  Skills  Development
             should be implemented, encourage to pursue Graduate courses , other studies be conducted to
             look into other aspects of instructional skills in teaching Reading in Mother Tongue using more
             variables and a wider scope.
