Using the procedures described in the preceding chapter, with 22 pupils as respondents of the study and mixed methods as research design, the answers to the problems raised in this study were ascertained and summarized as follows: Findings revealed that in a 20-item pretest for spelling and writing, the mean scores were recorded at 15 and 8, respectively. Posttests were administered, the mean scores for spelling and writing were computed at 18 and 16, respectively. Significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest for spelling. Highly significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest in writing which was performed before and after exposing the Grade 3 pupils to diary writing. Based on the findings of the study, diary writing was effective in improving the spelling and writing abilities of Grade 3 pupils. The program of activities may be implemented in the entire school to improve the writing and spelling abilities of the elementary school pupils.
