Аннотация

Reading comprehension is a dynamic and interactive process essential for academic success and critical thinking. Despite its importance, many students face significant challenges in developing effective comprehension skills. This article explores evidence-based practices to enhance students' reading comprehension by synthesizing key findings from seminal research. Strategies such as explicit instruction, scaffolding, fostering motivation, and integrating interactive elements are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the role of teacher guidance, differentiated instruction, and the use of authentic texts to create engaging learning environments. My perspective highlights the need for a multi-faceted approach tailored to diverse classroom contexts. The article concludes with recommendations for bridging research and practice, particularly for addressing disparities in educational resources and adapting to hybrid learning environments.
