The Metacomprehension Strategy Index indicated a lack of pupil's knowledge of strategies to use before, during, and after reading. The Phil-Iri given to the grade III pupils identified 9 out of the 16 pupils below target level.

The information gathered by the researcher after the intervention had been modeled and practiced showed improvement with the grade III pupils. The post intervention scores for the Metacomprehension Strategy Index showed a significant increase in pupil's knowledge of the reading comprehension strategies. The Phil- Iri post intervention scores indicates only 2 of the 49 pupils of the grade III pupils remained non reader .

It is important to teach the strategies by naming the strategy and how it should be used, modeling through think aloud process, group practice and independent use of the strategy.

Parental consent was obtained for this research project during the last week of August. To show evidence of a problem in reading comprehension  the researcher orally surveyed his grade III pupils using the Metacomprehension Strategy Index.During the first week of September, the researcher administered this oral survey to his  pupils. The survey measured each student awareness of the strategies used in the reading process. The researcher reads one part of the survey per day for three consecutive days. This tool was used to measure the pupil's awareness of their strategic reading process before the strategies were introduced.

The second tool used was the Phil- Iri administered to the pupils in the third grade classroom in the first week of July, 2011. This tool is used to determine student growth in reading comprehension.

The teacher observation checklist was used by the researcher to gather data throughout the intervention. Beginning in October 2011, once a month , the researcher used checklist to observe which reading comprehension strategies were being used by the pupils in small groups.This tool provide information of changes on how well his pupils understand and use reading comprehension strategies over time.
