Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the 5E inquiry-based learning approach integrated with thematic storybooks in enhancing the analytical reading skills of students regarding regional dialects. Specifically, the research sought to compare students’ analytical reading proficiencies before and after the educational intervention and to investigate student satisfaction toward the implemented instructional model. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of 22 sixth-grade students from Thaweerat School, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, selected through purposive sampling during the second semester of the 2025 academic year. The research instruments included two 5E inquiry-based lesson plans integrated with thematic storybooks, totaling eight instructional hours. Data collection tools comprised an analytical reading skill assessment (20 multiple-choice and 10 subjective items) with an Item Objective Congruence (IOC) of 1.00, and a 5-point Likert scale satisfaction questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using mean (M), standard deviation (S.D.), and a dependent samples t-test. The findings revealed that students exhibited significantly higher analytical reading skills in regional dialects after the intervention (M = 26.45, S.D. = 1.83) compared to the pretest (M = 17.09, S.D. = 2.97), with a statistical significance at the .05 level (p
