Abstract: The DepEd Division in Binan City, Laguna manages public schools, supports staff development, and promotes literacy through early childhood education and community involvement. To address these goals, the researcher introduced VERBAID, an interactive digital tool for Grade 12 students. This tool aimed to enhance vocabulary, reading, writing, language confidence, digital literacy, and independent learning. It also provided data-driven insights and professional development opportunities for teachers. Using a pretest-posttest design on Grade 12 students in Binan City, the study found that VERBAID significantly improved vocabulary skills, with scores rising from 13.714 to 20.833. The observed improvement was evident in the significant difference between pretest and posttest mean scores. The study underscored VERBAID's potential for vocabulary education and recommended its use across age groups in educational settings. It stressed the importance of teacher training and ongoing research for optimal implementation. Future research with larger, diverse samples and longitudinal studies could further validate VERBAID's effectiveness and explore its long-term impact on vocabulary development.
