Promoting reading literacy

This research promotes reading comprehension of poetic texts for High School students through the use of Information Technology and Communication (ICT). The gradual and consistent development of the reading comprehension of literary texts can open a door for the love of reading. Such approach to literary texts also fosters the development of meaningful learning through the reading comprehension of poetry. Furthermore, it promotes self- awareness with the use of ICT tools familiar to high school students, as well as given them access to the writing of others. (C) 2015 The Authors.
