This study investigates the effectiveness of class blogs as an alternative instructional strategy in enhancing the reading proficiency of Grade 7 students at Ayala National High School. As digital learning becomes increasingly relevant in todays classrooms, integrating blogs offers an opportunity to enhance literacy instruction through student–centered, interactive, and reflective learning. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving 60 students divided equally into a control group and an experimental group. The control group received traditional instruction, while the experimental group engaged with blog-based reading activities over a span of several weeks. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted using a reading proficiency self-assessment and comprehension test to measure learning gains. The results revealed that the experimental group showed a significant improvement in their post-test scores, achieving an average mean of 2.98, which corresponds to the “Approaching Proficiency” level. In contrast, the control group scored an average post-test mean of 2.18, which remained in the “Developing” category. A t-test analysis indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups post-test results (t = 18.464, p = 0.0000). These findings suggest that the integration of class blogs positively influences students reading comprehension, vocabulary, and motivation to read. The study concludes that class blogs are a viable and innovative alternative strategy for enhancing reading instruction in secondary education. It is recommended that educators and school administrators consider incorporating blog-based activities into the reading curriculum to promote active learning and literacy growth. Further research could investigate its application across various subjects and long-term impacts on learner engagement.
