The use of digital flipbook in teaching writing to grade 10 students

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of digital flipbooks in enhancing the writing skills of Grade 10 students at Bantayan National High School during the school year 2025–2026. Writing, a critical macro skill in English, remains a challenge among Filipino learners due to issues in grammar, coherence, and motivation. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 66 students divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group utilized a researcher-developed digital flipbook covering competencies such as argumentative, informative, and persuasive writing, as well as reader-response interpretation. Pre-test and post-test results were analyzed to determine performance differences. Findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement compared to the control group, particularly in argumentative essay writing and application of persuasive techniques. However, least mastered competencies included reader-response interpretation and advanced grammar. The study concludes that digital flipbooks are effective instructional tools that scaffold writing development, promote learner engagement, and address literacy gaps. Recommendations include enhancing flipbook content to strengthen least mastered skills and integrating technology-based aids into classroom instruction.
