We all know that developing students’ reading comprehension is one of the most fundamental aspects of education, as it not only improves their ability to understand and analyze text. In a world where text-based information is increasingly central, the ability to effectively interpret and reflect on read material is increasingly important.

However, research, the PISA survey and the Swedish Schools Inspectorate all show that many students do not read at all unless forced to, which in turn can affect their overall learning and success in both education and life.

Escaply harnesses the power of gamification to create a learning environment where students can immerse themselves in interactive stories and challenges that require critical thinking and detailed text analysis. By integrating reading comprehension exercises directly into the games, teachers can tailor lessons/moments that are both educational and entertaining.

You start by adding clues with a text that students have to read.
To advance in the game, students must carefully read the text, understand its meaning and answer questions that test their understanding.
Creating a game to promote reading comprehension in Escaply is quick and easy. Teachers can easily integrate texts adapted to the age and ability of their students to create a dynamic learning experience. This method gives students a unique opportunity to practice reading comprehension in a way that is both challenging and rewarding.
By transforming traditional reading tasks into interactive adventures, Escaply not only helps to increase interest in reading, but also helps to develop critical reading skills that are crucial to students’ success both in and out of the classroom.
