Reader Brochure as a Strategy to Improve Reading Comprehension in Education

Reading comprehension is a key skill that allows you to interpret, analyze and understand texts relevant for learning and personal development. However, many students face difficulties in extracting information, making inferences and relating ideas, which limits their academic and professional performance. The purpose of the research was to develop a reading brochure to improve reading comprehension in fifth-year basic general education students. A quasi-experimental design and the descriptive statistical method were applied with a comparative design with normality tests; To validate the idea to be defended, a questionnaire was applied to evaluate reading comprehension to 80 fifth-year children through individual and group reading workshops. The results showed that children have difficulty reading, so it was necessary to apply the reading booklet prepared with readings created by the children based on elements of the environment to improve reading skills. It is concluded that the reader brochure develops creativity and imagination in students, helping to raise creativity in the creation of real readings according to the contexts that allow the development of critical and creative thinking. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.
