520 _aAbstract The study aimed to investigate the extent to which teachers utilize vocabulary strategies and the relationship of these strategies with the selected variables. It also determined the students' reading performance. The researcher utilized the descriptive-correlational survey and employed the systematic sampling technique in identifying the 180 Grade 7 respondents from the seven public secondary schools of Maria Districts 1 and 2 in the Division of Siquijor. The researcher used validated questionnaires and employed mean, percent, standard deviation, Chi-Square Test, and Spearman's Rank-Order Correlation in treating the data. The findings revealed that the extent of the teachers' utilization in terms of the following strategies is "high": (a) context clues, (b) word analysis, (c) use of dictionary, (d) breaking words into syllables, (e) making connections, () visualization/drawing. It was also found that the students' reading performance when exposed to a reading selection is "satisfactory". The data further indicated that the mentioned strategies are significantly related to the students' reading performance. Additionally, the findings also showed that book reading frequency and extent of encouragement of parents or guardians significantly relate to the students performance; however, sex, main source of income, number of books at home, and nunmber of magazines/newspapers do not. These findings emphasize that the higher the utilization of these strategies and the support of parents or guardians to home reading practices, the greater the students' gains in vo cabulary, comprehension, and overall reading outcome. Keywords: vocabulary strategies, reading performance, home learning environment, extent of utilization
