Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of the project W.R.I.T.E.S. (Writing, Reading, Interventions, To Enhance Writing Skills) on the writing skills of Grade 12 students. It used descriptive-quantitative design. It involved 14 Grade 12 students of Bascaran National High School. Purposive sampling was utilized in this study. The instruments used were the compositions of the students and a rubric adapted from Weir (1990) as basis of giving score to the respondents’ written work. Statistical tools used were mean, percentage and t-test. Results revealed that there was positive impact of the intervention used to increase the level of writing proficiency of the participants. However, the percentage gain revealed that the intervention was effective to some categories particularly in grammar and organization while other sub-categories were partially effective. Results show that this project was an effective way of improving students’ writing proficiency level and utilization of such is being recommended.
