Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the performance and attitudes towards reading and writing of Grade 12 students in public schools of Cabagan, Isabela. There were 244 students involved in the study. Stratified random sampling was used in selecting the participants of the study. A quantitative research method was used in the study to determine performance and attitudes towards reading and writing. Frequency counts, percentage scores, the arithmetic mean, and Kendall’s Rank Correlation Tau was used to describe and analyze the data in the study. The findings of the study revealed that students' reading and writing performance were poor. However, their attitudes toward reading and writing were positive. Hence, the study demonstrated that there is a significant correlation between students’ attitudes and their reading and writing performance. Thus, the study supports DepEd’s "SulongEdukalidad" in creating programs to enhance learners' reading mastery and sustain its basic goal of producing quality learners enhanced by quality education. Language teachers should also be engaged and exposed to training to handle weak foundations of learners in basic academic (reading and writing) skills.

Summary
1 Individuals carry and develop the two most essential skills: reading and writing. Learning these skills contribute to success in daily living, especially for learners. As the education ladder progresses, the ability of learners to read and write develops. This emphasizes the power of basic literacy among individuals. According to Kern (2000), the term literacy is the capability to read and write, which are often focused at the beginning to intermediate stages of language learning, with literature and cultural learning being stressed at a higher degree. Scholars from rhetoric, writing, educational psychology, sociology, linguistics, and cultural theory argue for a more dynamic concept of literacy that includes both reading and writing. Good authors make good readers, whereas bad writers make bad readers (Hanane, 2015)
