Abstract
A country's ability to flourish depends on a number of elements, the most important of which is the educated populace that supports and contributes to the growth and prosperity of the country. Students in Grade 03 are now being taught reading and numeracy on a mobile tablet through the use of a mobile application called reading and Numeracy Drive (LND). This study examines the association between fourth-grade students' English reading comprehension skills in Lahore's public schools and the Android mobile application Literacy & Numeracy Drive (LND). The Punjab province of Pakistan's public primary schools all use this Android application. 350 government elementary schools in Lahore were the target population; of these, 21 male and 14 female schools were selected. The students achievement test (SAT) for fourth-graders and the literacy and numeracy drive (LND) android mobile application were the two research instruments employed to achieve this. The same instructors were asked to complete an extra questionnaire to learn more about their qualifications, topic knowledge, pedagogical skills in use, opportunities for in-service training, and usage of teaching resources in the classroom. The study used a quantitative methodology and was descriptive in nature.
