Abstract

The objectives of this study were to: 1) develop learning activity packages incorporating integrated reading strategies among lower secondary school students, with a targeted efficiency of 80/80, and 2) examine differences in students’ reading literacy performance before and after the implementation of the learning activity packages. The sample comprised 30 grade 9 students, through multi-stage random sampling, who were enrolled in the first semester of the 2024 academic year at a public secondary school in Bangkok. The intervention was conducted over a period of eight weeks, encompassing a total of 16 instructional periods. The research instruments consisted of 1) four sets of learning activity packages with integrated reading strategies including: set 1 fable reading, set 2 health documentary analysis, set 3 notice board reading, and set 4 chart and map interpretation—and 2) a reading literacy test. Data were analyzed using the mean (M), standard deviation (SD), and dependent t-test. The findings revealed that 1) the developed learning activity packages achieved an efficiency score of 89.60/88.04 and 2) students’ post-test mean scores in reading fluency were significantly higher than their pre-test mean scores at the .05 level of statistical significance. These results indicate that the developed instructional packages are effective in enhancing students’ reading literacy and in fostering the transfer of reading skills to authentic, real-life contexts.
