This research study was conducted in two cycles by following the procedure of action research i.e. planning implementing observing and reflecting. Each cycle of the research study encompassed three meetings of the strategy implementation and one meeting for the reading comprehension test. The data of this research study were obtained through reading tests observation checklist and field notes at the end of the cycle. The findings of this research study indicated that the GRP strategy was successful in improving the students in comprehending expository texts. The improvement can be seen from the increase of students mean scores and the students individual score percentage from preliminary study to Cycle 2. The students mean score had improved greatly from 65.56 to 75.31 in cycle 2 and the students individual score percentage had achieved to a great extent from 35% to 78% students who got score equal or greater than 70.
