The primary objective of the study is to develop Strategic Intervention Material (SIMs) in teaching Elementary English 4 as a teacher support material in mastering the competencies in the Elementary English 4. It is considered developmental since it underwent three phases namely: planning, development and validation. The respondents of the study were the content experts. They validated the developed SIMs through a researcher –made instrument. The content experts rated the developed SIMs “very satisfactory”. This showed that the five (5) experts viewed the suitable and appropriate to enhance the mastery of the eight (8) Elementary English 4 competencies in the first and second grading period. It is then recommended that the aspects of the materials that were rated “satisfactory” by the experts should be improved. Teachers may also develop more strategic intervention materials for other subject areas to address the pupils’ least learned skills and a similar study may be conducted covering a bigger number of respondents in another location.
