About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

In 2019 we carried out the analysis of the results of the national ECE 2018 and 2019 evaluation in reading comprehension, our students obtained a low level of achievement. In 2018, only 10.3% understood what they read and in 2019, only 13.3% understood what they read. That is why our problem is: Low level of achievement in the competition: Read various types of texts in their mother tongue

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Lecturas Arenalinas addresses the problem of low level of reading comprehension in first and second grade students.
To achieve our purpose Lecturas Arenalinas offers students a weekly reading plan with texts, audios and their respective evaluation, allowing us to evaluate reading comprehension in parameters: degree of comprehension, reading speed, reading time and reading fluency, all supported by evidence. product of the comprehension of the read text. In order to later provide adequate feedback and achieve the competencies of the Peruvian National Curriculum: Competence 8. Read various types of texts written in the mother tongue. Competence 27.

Implementation steps

Step 1.- Implementation of content in the mobile application
Students propose authors and literary texts through their suggestions; these are implemented in the application in text formats, audio texts, plus weekly reading comprehension tests.
All of this is focused on the three capacities of the reading competence of different types of text in their native language: Obtain, infer, and reflect. Teachers grade the texts, provide the tests and challenges for their implementation in the mobile app.
Step 2.- Flipped Reading
Students read texts, listen to audio texts, and perform reading activities on the app outside of school to foster their autonomy and productive use of free time at home, socializing with their family.
The app records reading speed, time, and level of comprehension, allowing students to assess their skills and set new goals that they share in the socialization of their results.
Step 3.- Creation and production of digital evidence
In the classroom, students socialize and reflect on the texts they read, sharing their personal appreciations of characters, settings, and messages. They create scripts, podcasts, videos, and organizers.
They then produce a final product based on their understanding, with the best evidence hosted on the mobile app. Reading fluency is assessed with a rubric that includes app parameters, thus consolidating the development of comprehension skills and the use of the virtual environment.
Step 4.- Assessment and feedback on learning
The app allows you to check weekly results for each student based on the parameters evaluated. Upon completing activities, scores and virtual medals (gold, silver, bronze) are awarded, visible to teachers, parents, and students. Depending on the medal obtained, personalized feedback is provided to improve reading habits, also through an artificial intelligence chatbot that answers the student's questions.
