This study analyzed the writing strategies employed by Grade 7 students to enhance their writing competence. Utilizing a descriptive research approach, the study assessed the proficiency levels of sixty (60) students in specific writing strategies: clustering, outlining, journal writing, and diary writing. The results revealed that students demonstrated "Excellent" competence in clustering (78.33%) and journal writing (40%), "Very Good" competence in diary writing (41.67%), and "Good" competence in outlining (58.33%). The study concludes that while students are highly proficient in creative and reflective strategies, there is room for improvement in structural strategies like outlining. Recommendations include integrating these strategies across the curriculum and providing advanced activities for high-performing students.
