Abstract:
Reading plays a vital role in enhancing learners’ comprehension skills. Learning to read does not only stop in a single textbook or any other reading materials that are available inside the classroom. The inclusion of technology and digital aid in teaching has more likely to substitute the task of a teacher and technological advancement keeps on causing accelerative changes in almost every way of life. The researcher believes that WordWall will help improve pupils reading comprehension and give them skills that they will continue to build on in more advanced classes including reading. This study aimed to improve reading comprehension skills of Grade 1 pupils of Sabangan Elementary School. It made use of the One-group Pretest-Posttest research method. Twenty-four (24) or the total population of Grade 1 pupils was used as the participants of the study. The following conclusions were drawn: 1.a) The level of reading comprehension skills of the Grade 1 pupils during the pre-test is “Moderate”; 1.b) The level of reading comprehension skills of the Grade 1 pupils during the post-test is “Very High”, and 2) There is a significant difference between the pre-test and the post test. These recommendations were derived from the conclusions: 1) The use of WordWall should be implemented to further improve the reading skills of the pupils; 2) Offline version of the WordWall is highly encouraged.; 3) If budget warrants, the school may consider a stable internet connection to facilitate instructions more efficiently and 4) Further studies should be conducted using more respondents.
