ABSTRACT
No research was conducted on the same topic of interest among Grade 7 students, particularly in Pansol Integrated National High School, as they too struggle with grammar, sentence construction, and composition writing due to their poor proficiency in the subject-verb agreement. Studying this topic is very viable, timely, and practical as it contributes significantly to solving gaps in learning. The proponent has introduced a fun manner of addressing the learning gap among Grade 7 in subject-verb agreement, which is through board games. Manipulatives, as its generally called, are effective in solving learning gaps. Board games can allow students to put what they have learned into practice. Educators can give students opportunities to play while also promoting student achievement by using games that support the curriculum. The study aims to ascertain boardgame's impact on learners' proficiency level in Subject Verb Agreement. Using the purposive sampling technique, the researcher-made pretest and posttest were conducted among 15 Grade 7 learners of Pansol Integrated National High School. Results show a significant difference between the level of proficiency of Grade 7 learners in Subject- Verb Agreement. It is highly recommended that the best practice of using manipulatives should be shared among the colleagues through the LAC session, be incorporated in the School Improvement Pan to be allocated with a budget, and be shared among other schools in the District so they too can replicate the innovation and improve their learner's proficiency in SVA.
