Findings of the study, indicates that text selection is responsive with the K-12 Track of establishing a clearer path for our students as they continue to be more attuned to the things they need to learn and equip themselves with thus resulting to better classroom performance especially in terms of reading interest and comprehension. These skills will pave the way for a better workplace experience, contribution and future abilities in the classroom and beyond.
