Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of
interactive games as an intervention tool to enhance the reading skills of
Grade 2 learners at Sabangan Elementary School and Naguilian Norte Elementary
School, in Lower Calanasan District, Calanasan, Apayao, Philippines. The study
employed an experimental research design with pre-test and post-test methods
among the experimental and control group. Also, a descriptive-evaluative method
was adopted for expert assessment on the developed interactive games using the
DepEd Evaluation Tool for Non-Print Instructional Materials. Findings revealed
that after the use of the interactive games, there was a marked improvement in
reading performance, particularly in the experimental group, where more
learners reached satisfactory and very satisfactory levels. The gain scores of
learners significantly increased, with the experimental group outperforming the
control group. Statistical analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the games,
especially at Naguilian Elementary School, where a significant difference in
gain scores was recorded compared to Sabangan Elementary School. Furthermore,
expert evaluated the games’ high quality in content, instruction, and technical
aspects. The positive feedback from both learners’ performance data and expert
assessments suggested that the games met educational standards and could be
adopted as instructional tools in early literacy programs, especially in rural
schools with limited access to engaging, technology-based learning resources.
