Abstract
This study was conducted to develop content area reading-based strategic intervention materials (CARB-SIMs) in Science VI, their selection of skills and topics based on the results of five-year Science quarterly examinations scores revealing the students' least mastered skills. Utilizing a descriptive-developmental research, the study reached six phases: designing, developing, validating, evaluating, and revising. The Department of Education modified checklist used by teacher-evaluators assessed the CARB-SIMs. The weighted mean analyzed the results of the evaluation on the developed CARB-SIMs, using an adopted and modified SIM evaluation based on teacher evaluation and pupil perception. Evaluators strongly agreed that the developed SIM followed the guidelines and criteria in constructing strategic intervention materials. Student Perception Questionnaire of Slaviejo (2014) determined how they perceive the use of the strategic intervention materials. They found the SIMs interesting, easy to use and the activities were fun to do.
