Abstract: This classroom-based action research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Project GAMeS (Game-Assisted Method and Strategy) in enhancing the reading level of 16 instructional readers at New Cabalan National High School for the school year 2023-24. The study used purposive sampling technique and employed a one-group pre-test post-test design. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test scores of the participants after the integration of Project GAMeS, while Mann-Whitney U test was employed to determine the difference in post-test scores between sexes after the integration of Project GAMeS. The results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the participants following the integration of Project GAMeS. The post-tests indicated that the participants' reading abilities progressed from instructional to independent levels. Therefore, the study suggested that Project GAMeS was effective in enhancing the reading levels of instructional readers. Additionally, the results indicated that the integration of Project GAMeS had a statistically similar impact on the post-test scores of both male and female students, with only a minor practical difference between these groups that was not deemed statistically significant. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended that Project GAMeS be integrated more broadly into the curriculum at New Cabalan National High School to enhance reading levels across various grade levels.
