The potential of music to aid reading performance has been the subject of research for many years. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of five music genres (jazz, pop, RNB, rap and classical) on the reading comprehension performance of grade 9 junior high school students in the division of Angeles City. In line with this, the study conducted quasi experimental pretest and posttest to students (N=40) within the span of 2 weeks. The pretest of each genre was taken wihtout playing popular instrumental music on the background while the posttest was taken while the participants listened to popular instrumental music. The results of the study showed a high significant difference between pretest and posttest scores for the genres of jazz pop and classical where all three genres obtained a p-value of 0.000 which was lower that the set alpha of 0.01 level of significance. Hence a reading remediation program utilizing Jazz, Pop, and Classical music as reading supplement has a potential to aid struggling readers. Therefore, based on the outcomes of this study, the researcher designed a proposed reading remediation program utilizing the three genres (Jazz, Pop and Classical).
