Abstract
This was an action research project that took place in a first-grade general education classroom with 18 students participating in the study. It investigated the effectiveness of integrating reading comprehension strategies and solving math word problems. During the study students were pre-assessed for solving math word problems. Interventions were made by integrating retelling and visualization strategies for comprehending math word problems. The research indicated that there is an association between reading comprehension and solving math word problems. Practicing reading comprehension strategies as a tool and integrating them with math word problems displayed improvement in students’ confidence and attempts to solve the word problems using correct mathematical operations.
