THE ROLE OF WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS IN ENHANCING READING SKILLS
Abstract
Abstract: While they provide dynamic, tailored, and interesting learning experiences, web-based applications are essential for improving reading abilities. These platforms provide personalized reading paths that accommodate different learning styles and skills by utilizing adaptive algorithms and multimedia features. These apps expose users to a variety of themes and genres by offering a wide range of resources, from articles to e-books, which promotes vocabulary growth and comprehension. Enhancers with features like progress tracking, real-time feedback, and gamification components encourage students to practice consistently and stay motivated. Furthermore, the social connection that these tools provide promotes teamwork and conversation, which enhances the educational process. Web-based apps are changing reading instruction as a result, improving its effectiveness and accessibility for students of all ages.
