Blended Learning Strategies and Student Engagement as Predictors on Students’ Literacy Development

This study sought to determine how blended learning strategies and student engagement predicts literacy development of sixth-grade children. A modified survey questionnaire was completed by 356 students as part of a quantitative research approach. Both student engagement and blended learning strategies  were found to be important predictors of literacy progress using multiple regression analysis. The results point to the value of blended learning in raising literacy levels. It is advised that schools offer more resources and training in order to raise teacher and student proficiency in light of these findings. The growth of literacy can be further supported by integrating technology, focusing on active learning strategies, and providing individualized training. To strengthen learning at home, parental involvement is also encouraged.
