Abstract

Applications are gaining strength in much of our lives and at every moment, it has been proven that the uses of these technological tools also help and are used in the pedagogical process that can serve as a great help for students who present small difficulties. For this reason, we started an investigation that allows us to observe that children are failing in the read and in that moment resulted to creating a mobile application for tablets with Android operating system called "Pulpy App" that allows to reinforce and improve reading comprehension in children from 7 to 8 years of age with the main objective of increasing their reading and understanding skills. For the creation of this application we will have as main objectives of the ludic activities to select the stories for children and the interactive games that we will present in our application such as short and figurative readings where the child can read and understand at the same time with the help of the visual objects such as animated images so that the child feels motivated to use this technological resource, at the end of the reading will develop objective workshops where they will be qualified and in the end we will obtain a qualification from the application to see how much the reading. Pulpy App serves to reinforce and improve reading comprehension in children with the help of stories and interactive games was developed in the Unity program with a database that saves your name and the participant's score was exported as a mobile application for Android operating systems for exclusive use on the Tablet in order to obtain educational results. This educational project was implemented in an educational unit "El Libertador" in the city of Guayaquil, in which children from the 3rd and 4th year of elementary school aged 7 and 8 participated in order to obtain favorable results. This application does not restrict access to people who wish to use it, we hope that it is open to the public who wishes to interact with it and can improve their reading comprehension skills.
