This study primarily aimed to determine the utilization of reading materials as a basis for effective reading programs. With the recent challenges faced by the educational sectors because of the pandemic, there is a need for reconsideration as to how students can improve their reading comprehension. Considering the number of students in the university, there is a need for the university to revisit the utilization of SRA Reading Laboratory as well as the Power Book Builders after many years of using it. This is to cope with the standard of the society and meet the needs of industry. A descriptive quantitative research design was utilized in order to describe and assess the SRA Reading Program as well as the students' reading comprehension levels. Accessible documents about the Science Research Associate (SRA) Reading Program, specifically the available number of reading booklets per power builder kit, and data on reading comprehension of student takers from SY 2017-2018 to 2019-2020 were used to investigate students' reading booklet utilization and reading comprehension level. Results showed that there is a substantial change in the reading comprehension of students throughout the past three years.
