Structured learning activities play a significant role in enhancing the reading skills of primary grade students. The primary objective of this research is to improve the reading proficiency of students in Tamil me- -dium schools within the Kalpitiya Division of the Puttalam Education Zone through such activities.The sub-objectives include ident- -ifying students' reading difficulties, evaluating the impact of structured learning activities on reading and comprehension skills, and comparing the progress of students participating in these activities with those in traditional classrooms. For thisstudy, data were collected from 60 teachers using questionnaires. Additionally, 60 students were divided into an experimental group and a control group, undergoing formal pre-tests and post-tests. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. According to the research findings, 99% of teachers agreed that reading skills can be improved through structured learning activities. Following the implementation of these activities, students' reading proficiency increased significantly. Specifically, the average score of the experimental group rose from 30.56 to 50.33 (an increase of approximately 20%). The study reveals that activities incorporating games and phonics methods led to faster and more stable progress compared to traditional learning methods. Therefore, this research emphasizes that learning activities should be simple, guidance- oriented, and studentfriendly. These recommendations are expected to serve as a guide for educational administrators and teachers to elevate the reading standards of primary grade students
