Development of an Interactive Story Applying Digital Narrative for Reading Comprehension

Abstract

This research seeks in digital narratives a methodology that contributes to improve the field of reading comprehension. Storytelling adds technological tools to the educational process. These strategies allow the student to participate, interact and build their meaningful learning. Thus, four interactive stories were designed and applied, with narrations adapted to the students' social environment. Storytelling and gamification were used through tools like: Vyond, Movavi, Powtoon, VideoScribe and Filmora. The participants are students of “Juan Jiménez” PCEI school, an intensive upper basic cycle, located in the eastern region of the Republic of Ecuador. And the students have obtained excellent qualification marks with this prototype.
