ABSTRACT
This paper is anchored on the idea that prose narratives, specifically legends, are a rich source of people’s cultural background that the younger generation needs to understand. These narratives were presented in a comic book format as instructional material in the classroom to encourage learners’ reading interest for further learning. This is descriptive research that utilized a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The focus is to identify which legends could be used as reading materials in a form of comics. This paper evaluated the level of acceptability of the developed material and identified the teachers’ strategies. This paper found out that there were six legends that passed the criteria. The respondents rated the instructional material or the legends in comics form along with the areas of suitability or appropriateness to the pupils, physical aspect, or visual appeal, both as very much acceptable, while the quality of the stories as moderately acceptable. The researchers recommended further innovations on the use of prose narratives for posterity. Contextualization may also encourage learning with cultural identity.
