This study was conducted from August to December 2017 to determine the
literary comprehension in English and the learning strategies used by Grade 10
students of a national high school in Tanza Cavite. It specifically aimed to: (1)
describe the respondents in terms of age and sex; (2) determine their comprehension
skills in understanding literary works in English; (3) determine their learning
strategies used in understanding literary works in English; (4) find out the

significant correlation of comprehension skills in English to the learning
strategies used by the respondents. The research design used for this study was
simple random sampling utilizing the fishbowl method in selecting 70 students
in a national high school in Tanza, Cavite. The researchers used questionnaires
adopted and modified for the present study. Most of the student-participants were
at the range of ages 13-17 for both female and male. In the comprehension skills
of students in literary works, data show that both female and male students can

“grasp very well”. Generally, the correlation of comprehension skills in English
and learning strategies in understanding literature show that there is a significant
correlation between the students’ comprehension skills specifically in reading and
the learning strategies of the students.
