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.
