The researcher interested in conducting the comparative study because students’ learning styles i.e., visual, auditory, and kinesthetic have dissimilar attainment in reading comprehension. The objectives of this research were to determine i) the significant difference in students’ reading comprehension achievement among students with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles and ii) the highest and lowest reading aspect of each VAK student’s achievement.
