This research examines the listening and reading comprehension abilities of second-grade students in elementary schools located in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija. The research employed a descriptive quantitative design utilizing structured survey questionnaires to evaluate students' listening, comprehension, and engagement. Students achieved "Very Good" ratings on active listening assessments; however, their reading comprehension scores exhibited a statistical correlation with their comprehension and engagement metrics. Schools exhibiting elevated comprehension and engagement scores demonstrated improved reading comprehension, consistent with the instructional material. Active listening is essential for enhancing reading skills; however, engaging the brain in listening tasks is of greater significance. This research contributes to early literacy by examining the effectiveness of structured and interactive listening strategies in enhancing reading and comprehension among young students. Teacher-led interactive listening strategies that engage cognitive processes have demonstrated an enhancement in reading test scores. The proposal outlines a program aimed at enhancing listening comprehension for readers facing difficulties.
