The average score rose from 55.71 in Cycle I to 77.41 in Cycle II, a gain of 21.71 points. In Cycle II, 39 out of 41 students achieved higher scores. The standard deviation dropped from 16.75 to 12.10, which means students’ performance became more consistent. Students also became more engaged and used reading strategies more actively during collaborative digital reading.
