This research aims to determine the difference in the reading comprehension abilities of students who learn to integrate the Padlet platform in project-based learning (PjBL) from those who learn conventionally. The research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental type in a nonequivalent control group design model. The population in this study was all 4th-grade students at SDN 3 Parepare, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The sample was 36 students in class 4.1 for the experimental class and 35 in class 4.2 for the control class. Research data was obtained by giving a reading comprehension test. The data analysis technique is the independent sample t-test. Based on the inferential statistical analysis results, Sig (2-tailed) is 0.024 and less than 0.05, so H0 is rejected, and H1 is accepted. Thus, this research concludes that there is a difference in students' reading comprehension abilities in integrating Padlet in PjBL with conventional learning. Integrating the Padlet platform in learning can be an alternative strategy to improve students' reading comprehension abilities. © 2025 IEEE.
