—— Instructional materials are the tools used to educate learners and help the teaching-learning process be more effective and meaningful. Teachers must be innovative in formulating instructional materials which will motivate the pupils to read more and do the activities with perfection to achieve the desired learning outcomes. Hence, it is in this premise that the researcher is motivated to conduct this study to evaluate the effectiveness of teacher-made story books in the reading performance of Grade 4 pupils. From the result of the study, a proposed instructional supervision plan was formulated. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized employing the pre-test and post-test researcher-made reading tests. Simple percentage and t-test of mean difference were the statistical tools used to interpret the result of the study. The study revealed a significant difference in the performances of the Garde 4 pupils before and after the utilization of teacher-made story books in teaching reading comprehension skills. The pupils’-based stories, which are printed in colorful illustration of every page, which guided the understanding of the pupils in the story and the willingness and interest of the pupils to read, has made the study effective. Hence, utilizing the crafted teacher-made story books as learning resource materials in teaching reading comprehension skills must be institutionalized and teachers must be taught on the proper utilization and production. From the result of the study, the administrators, master teachers and other stakeholders will be guided in the conduct of monitoring through the formulation of the proposed instructional supervision plan for technical assistance and improvement of the materials.
