Abstract Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a FLAT-based multimedia intervention on the literacy competence of Grade 6 learners at Malansad Nuevo Elementary School, Libmanan, Camarines Sur during the School Year 2023–2024. Anchored on Schema Theory, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, the study aimed to (1) determine learners’ literacy competence across six levels: letter, word, paragraph, story, story with comprehension, and local material with comprehension; (2) develop a FLAT-based literacy intervention using the ADDIE model; (3) assess literacy competence after intervention; (4) determine significant differences between pretest and posttest results; and (5) evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Using a descriptive-comparative design and total enumeration of 48 learners, data were gathered through pretest–posttest assessments using the Functional Literacy Assessment Tool (FLAT). Results revealed low baseline performance in comprehension-based literacy skills. Posttest results showed marked improvement, particularly in foundational and intermediate skills. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences (p < .001) and a large overall effect size (d = 1.13). The study concludes that FLAT-based multimedia intervention significantly enhances literacy competence, though comprehension skills require sustained support.
