Abstract This study dealt with the problem-solving skills and readability of text among grade 7 learners. The study aimed to determine the level of problem-solving skills and assessed the readability of the text of the learners. The study also focused on determining the relationship between these two variables. Then, the researchers prepared a problem-based learning material which reflected the findings of the study. Furthermore, the researchers utilized the descriptive research design, and two data-gathering instruments were used: test and survey questionnaire. In addition, stratified proportional sampling was used in determining the number of respondents in this study. The respondents of the study were the 288 grade 7 learners of Batangas City Integrated High School (BCIHS) under the Basic Education Curriculum during the school year 2023-2024. After the data were gathered, the researchers utilized frequency, percentage, Chi-square, mean, and standard deviation as the statistical tool. The results of the findings showed that the level of problem-solving skills of the grade 7 learners are above the average level when it comes to identifying while they were at a low level in terms of breaking, generating, evaluating, and monitoring. On the other hand, the respondents of the study were on a high level of readability. Also, the findings showed that there is a significant relationship between their skills in identifying and breaking a word problem to their readability and no significant relationship between generating, evaluating, and monitoring with their readability. Further, problem-based learning material was prepared to enhance the problem-solving skills of the learners.
