Abstract: The use of multimedia and digital platforms has become increasingly important in improving teaching and learning at the school level. This study focuses on understanding how multimedia tools and digital platforms help in enhancing reading and writing competency among upper primary school children. At this stage of education, students are expected to develop strong reading comprehension and writing abilities to support learning in all subjects. However, many students face difficulties due to limited exposure to engaging learning materials and traditional teaching methods that do not always meet their learning needs.Multimedia tools such as educational videos, animated stories, audio recordings, digital storybooks, and interactive presentations make language learning more interesting and meaningful. These tools support reading skills by combining text with images and sound, which helps students understand content more clearly. Digital platforms such as learning applications, online worksheets, and writing tools encourage students to practice writing regularly. Features like easy editing, spelling support, and guided writing activities help students improve sentence formation, organization of ideas, and overall writing confidence.The study is based on secondary data collected from books, research articles, educational reports, and previous studies related to multimedia learning and digital education. The review of literature shows that students who are exposed to multimedia-based learning demonstrate better reading interest, improved comprehension, and greater willingness to engage in writing activities. Digital platforms also promote self-paced learning and active participation, which are especially helpful for slow learners.The study concludes that multimedia and digital platforms play a supportive and effective role in improving reading and writing competency among upper primary school children. Proper selection of digital content, teacher guidance, and availability of basic digital infrastructure are essential for successful implementation. The study highlights the importance of integrating multimedia-based learning strategies into regular classroom teaching to improve the quality of language education.
