Abstract

This qualitative study explored the impact of peer- assisted reading on enhancing English reading skills among Grade 12 students in a public school in Irosin, Sorsogon. Utilizing reflexive thematic analysis, narratives from six participants, three proficient readers (tutors) and three developing readers (tutees)—were examined. The findings revealed that the reading partner strategy fostered accountability, improved comprehension, boosted confidence and motivation, and offered emotional and social support. Effective techniques included modeling, think-aloud, flashcards, and interactive questioning. To support these strategies, the study introduced assessment tools such as the Reading Peer Session Log, Fluency Rubric, Vocabulary Journal, and Comprehension Worksheet, alongside a workbook titled Magic in Two Voices. The study recommends integrating peer reading approaches into English curricula and providing training for peer tutors to ensure consistent application of these methods.
