Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the Word Factory game in improving the comprehension skills of Grade 4 students. The research addressed key questions regarding pre-test and post-test scoresaverages and differences between control and experimental groups. It was conducted at San Rafael Integrated School, employing a quasi-experimental design over two weeks. Data analysis utilized SPSS and the K-12 DepEd grading system, employing Mean and Independent Sample T-tests. Pre-test results revealed a significant performance gap, with the control group outperforming the experimental group. However, post-test results demonstrated the Word Factory intervention's effectiveness in enhancing comprehension skills, with the experimental group exhibiting significant improvement compared to the control group. Recommendations include integrating the Word Factory into teaching strategies, providing professional development for teachers, encouraging parental involvement, and DepEd endorsement for broader implementation. These findings underscore the potential of innovative interventions like the Word Factory in enhancing student learning outcomes, particularly in vocabulary and comprehension.
