This capstone project is a learning tool that has been well-planned and tested. The ECDW method was used to help students learn new words that are used in writing today, like works from the Philippines and other places. The ADDIE method was also used for this project, but only the first four steps were looked at: analysis, design, development, and evaluation. Materials are made in a systematic way, with expert review and input, making sure they are of high quality and useful, using the modified ADDV framework. Findings from the Vocabulary Size Test and data on the least-mastered competencies revealed that most students are struggling to understand text because of limited vocabulary. Because of this, it is harder for them to fully understand books or see how different settings can add to meaning and help them understand better. The results show that students had a hard time getting interested in books because they did not know many words. The Elicit, Concept Check, Drill, and Write (ECDW) method was used to teach these skills in the module. This method uses both active and passive tasks to help students remember what they already know. The print did not cost much. The module was made to teach these skills using the Elicit, Concept Check, Drill, and Write (ECDW) method. This method helps students remember what they already know by giving them both active and passive tasks. It was created using inexpensive, printable resources and a facilitator's guide to assist teachers in implementing it in the classroom. All five assessors awarded the materials a "Passed" mark in four crucial areas: content, format, presentation and organization, and accuracy and timeliness. The DepEd LRMDS tool also made it easier for specialists to review the contents. The resource received high grades from all of the assessors, indicating that they all thought it was good, practical, and long-lasting. The results show that the module meets all requirements and is ready to be used in the classroom. Relevant resources and a facilitator's guide to assist educators in implementing it in the classroom.
