Education at its various levels seeks to foster social change among all stakeholders, particularly students and teachers. In primary school, persistent learning difficulties have been identified, most of which are linked to mastering literacy skills - an essential foundation for educational progress. The interactive tool TitíApp, designed to correct errors such as omissions, substitutions, and rotations, has proved effective in enhancing children's reading abilities. This application not only supports the teaching - learning process but also helps narrow the digital divide across different sectors. The aim of this study was to compare children's reading competencies before and after using TitíApp. A pre and post-assessment methodology was employed with the Toro and Cervera Reading-Writing Analysis Test, applied in accordance with ethical standards for minors. The sample comprised 234 students from public and private schools in Pichincha Province. Findings revealed a reduction in errors when reading letters, syllables, and words, as well as an overall improvement in reading comprehension. The discussion highlights the growing positive impact of technological tools in education, noting that Tití App was particularly effective in improving students' reading fluency and comprehension. Ultimately, the use of this tool offers an engaging and effective means of restoring reading skills while reflecting a culturally grounded approach within the Ecuadorian context. © 2025 IEEE.
