Students who struggled in reading lacked the necessary skills and attention. This Action Research determined the efficacy of Fluency-Oriented Reading Instruction (FORI) in strengthening reading comprehension skills of students in English. It involved the Grade V students who were considered as struggling readers. It lasted for two weeks where learners were got involved in an hour reading activity every day after their classes. Likewise, thematic analysis was done in identifying the themes. Findings revealed that the intervention increased the reading comprehension skills of the students and even made them as independent readers. They suggested that teachers from all grade levels should have to adopt FORI and books would be available at home.
