This study developed book selection criteria based on the reading interest of Grade 5 male students. The criteria were drawn from the results of the survey conducted among the fifth graders from selected exclusive boys' schools in the National Capital Region (NCR). The participants, who belonged to two sections from each school, were chosen randomly through the fishbowl sampling technique. The findings revealed that Grade 5 boys have a wide range of reading interests in terms of content, genre, and format design. They are also interested in informational texts like almanacs, encyclopedias, and magazines as well as realistic fiction.
