Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using the Blooket game to improve students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts. The research was conducted at SMP 17.1 Gedong Tataan Pesawaran involving one class of 21 eighth-grade students in the 2025/2026 academic year. A one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. Students completed a reading comprehension test before and after the implementation of Blooket as the instructional medium. The treatment was over several sessions, during which students engaged with descriptive texts through interactive activities on the Blooket platform. The findings indicate an improvement in students’ reading comprehension, with mean scores increasing from 50.05 in the pre-test to 60.38 in the post-test. However, the improvement was not equal across all aspects, with inference showing the lowest gain. This suggests that Blooket is more effective in supporting lower-level reading skills rather than higher-order thinking skills. In addition, the improvement cannot be fully attributed to Blooket alone, as other factors may influence students’ learning. The limited number of treatment sessions may also have affected the results. Therefore, further research with longer and more frequent treatments is needed to better examine the effectiveness of Blooket, especially in developing higher-order thinking skills. Keywords: Blooket, reading comprehension, descriptive text, game-based learning.
