Abstract

Reading and writing are two essential macro-skills in communication. Students do a lot of writing and reading and aim to be adept in writing and to be good readers. That is why this study sought to determine the reading comprehension and writing proficiency of the third year BEED and BSED students. Find out further, the significant difference of their reading comprehension and writing proficiency. The descriptive design questionnaire was utilized. The reading comprehension was measured in these six (6) sub-skills: finding the main idea, recognizing specific details, recognizing inferences and conclusion, understanding vocabulary from context, recognizing mood and recognizing writing techniques while writing proficiency was measured in these criteria: content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency and convention. Findings revealed that there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension of the BEED and BSED students while there is no significant difference in terms of their writing proficiency. This means that BSED students tend to read and comprehend better compared to the BEED. Moreover, there is no correlation between their reading comprehension and writing proficiency. Students with good reading comprehension skills may not necessarily be good in writing. Thus, a student may make sense of what is read but may have difficulty in putting his own ideas in well-crafted sentences and logical flow
