Abstract

This study explored the influence of digital reading tools on the literacy skills of Grade Three learners in the Philippine educational context using a descriptive-correlational research design. The research documented the types of digital reading tools used, their frequency of use, and the instructional strategies accompanying their implementation. A correlational analysis was then conducted to examine the relationship between the learners' engagement with these digital tools and their literacy outcomes as measured by custom-designed literacy assessments. The results indicated that while the learners perceived digital reading tools as highly engaging and beneficial for their reading experience, there was no statistically significant relationship between the use of these tools and their actual literacy levels. The findings suggest that although digital reading tools enhance the reading process, their impact on literacy skills may be limited, pointing to the need for further investigation into other factors that contribute to literacy development in young learners.
