Non ho capito. Strategie e proposte didattiche per la comprensione del testo

Text comprehension is both a central and critical issue in everyday school life and in individuals’ broader social experience. Students constantly engage with a wide range of texts—from textbooks and digital media to everyday written instructions—making comprehension a foundational skill across disciplines. Schools play a key role in fostering learners’ autonomy, yet developing effective comprehension requires complex linguistic, cognitive, and strategic processes that are not always easy to teach. Additional challenges arise from multilingual backgrounds and neurodiversity, which further influence access to meaning. Recent national (INVALSI) and international (PISA 2022) assessments highlight persistent regional and school-type disparities in reading literacy in Italy, as well as a slow recovery in results after the Covid-19 pandemic. Although overall performance remains aligned with or above the OECD average, significant gaps between geographical areas and educational tracks continue to emerge. In response to this context, the volume offers a theoretical and methodological framework that integrates textual analysis, vocabulary development, cognitive processes, and inclusive strategies to support accessible and effective reading instruction for all learners.
