English reading comprehension is a core competency that underpins significant contribution to the advancement of academic skills in all subjects. This study determined the impact of interactive e-storybooks conceptualized as readily accessible digital stories to improve, foster, and yields reader’s comprehension (READIFY) enhancing Grade 5 learners’ English reading comprehension skills at Calumpang Elementary School SY 2024-2025. The specific objectives include evaluating students’ English reading comprehension before and after implementing the READIFY, assessing the effectiveness of the program, and examining the difference in students’ comprehension skill levels pre-test and post-test. The study utilized a quantitative approach, collecting data from survey questionnaires and pre-test and post-test assessments. The findings from this research provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the READIFY in improving Grade 5 students’ English comprehension skills. Statistical tools such as mean and standard deviation were used to determine the material’s efficiency in improving the learners’ English reading comprehension skills. A T-test was employed to determine if there is a significant difference between the students’ level of English reading comprehension skills before and after the intervention. The following result was found: The READIFY intervention led to significantly enhanced reading comprehension skills among Grade 5 pupils. Pre-test scores (81.2%) indicated an instructional level, while post-test scores (64.7%) demonstrated an independent level, signifying a marked improvement in their ability to read and understand the material. The statistical evidence supports the program's efficacy and highlights its potential as a valuable tool for educators seeking to enhance language learning outcomes.
