Learners who are taught and trained on developing mental models in mind are found to demonstrate much better understanding and comprehension. This study aimed to improve the reading comprehension of Grade 6 learners using Mental Models. A quasi-experimental method was used. Mean, standard and T-test were used to analyze the data. Findings reveal that both groups before the utilization of conventional and mental models have low mastery of their reading comprehension skills.  The Grade 6 learners reading comprehension skills after the utilization of the mental models was classified as Approximating Mastery. Conversely, the post-test scores in the conventional method exhibited Average Mastery. The reading comprehension skills of the Grade 6 learners before and after the conventional method was utilized marks the same performance.   The Grade 6 learners have the same level of reading comprehension even with or without the utilization of the conventional method. Understanding the context is significantly impacted by poor reading comprehension. In basic education, this is one of the most prevalent issues that both students and teachers deal with. Understanding what you read set the stage for future learning and understanding in every topic. Students would struggle intellectually without this foundation, especially in reading and writing and in disciplines like math, science, social studies, and English.
