This study employed a quasi-experimental research design to determine the effectiveness of the SCRIPT (Supporting Cursive Reading and Improving Penmanship Training) Program in enhancing the cursive reading and writing skills of Grade 7 students. Conducted in a public junior high school in Biñan City, Laguna, the study involved 46 participants enrolled during the Academic Year 2024–2025, equally divided into treatment (n = 23) and comparison (n = 23) groups. Adjustments were made to address potential attrition, maintaining a 5% margin of error at a 95% confidence level. Expert-validated rubrics were utilized for assessing both cursive reading and writing, with inter-rater reliability established through collaboration with college faculty members teaching English and Filipino general education courses. Data collection consisted of two phases: a pre-test administered to establish baseline skill levels and a post-test conducted after the three-month implementation of the SCRIPT Program. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine performance levels and inferential statistics, including independent and paired sample t-tests, to evaluate the significance of observed differences. All ethical standards were highly observed.  Findings revealed a significant improvement in both cursive reading and writing skills among students in the treatment group compared to the comparison group, indicating that the SCRIPT Program effectively enhanced students’ penmanship and reading fluency in cursive literacy. The results affirm the value of structured and guided handwriting instruction in developing foundational literacy skills. Based on these outcomes, the study recommends enhancing the SCRIPT Program through extended exposure to activities, integration of advanced handwriting and reading tasks, and continuous capacity-building for teachers to sustain skill development and student engagement.
