This study examines the effectiveness of the PLAY (Participate, Learn, Apply, Yield) Strategy integrated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing English word recognition skills among Grade 1 pupils in the Philippines. A quantitative research approach was employed, with pre- and posttest assessments to measure improvements in pupils’ performance. The results revealed a significant increase in the pupils’ reading proficiency following the intervention, reflecting a shift from the Average to Closely Approximating Mastery category. The study underscores the positive impact of ICT-integrated, PLAY-based strategies on early literacy development. This innovative intervention offers a novel approach to engaging young learners through phonics-based songs, interactive games, and structured activities, providing a dynamic and enjoyable way to foster reading skills. The findings contribute to the growing body of research on effective literacy interventions and highlight the potential of combining ICT with play-based learning to enhance educational outcomes in early primary education.

摘要

This study examines the effectiveness of the PLAY (Participate, Learn, Apply, Yield) Strategy integrated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing English word recognition skills among Grade 1 pupils in the Philippines. A quantitative research approach was employed, with pre- and posttest assessments to measure improvements in pupils’ performance. The results revealed a significant increase in the pupils’ reading proficiency following the intervention, reflecting a shift from the Average to Closely Approximating Mastery category. The study underscores the positive impact of ICT-integrated, PLAY-based strategies on early literacy development. This innovative intervention offers a novel approach to engaging young learners through phonics-based songs, interactive games, and structured activities, providing a dynamic and enjoyable way to foster reading skills. The findings contribute to the growing body of research on effective literacy interventions and highlight the potential of combining ICT with play-based learning to enhance educational outcomes in early primary education.
