Printed texts have long been used as the prime medium of learning to read and reading to learn. However, the ubiquity of technology has emerged digital texts, and the accelerating influx of digital texts requires new comprehension skills and strategies. This article reviews and synthesizes current ideas and research findings on digital reading in EFL context to provide a more solid theoretical basis for digital texts use in reading comprehension programs. Discussion in this article begins with the comparison of the nature of conventional or print reading versus digital reading and the characteristics of printed texts versus digital texts. After that, the discussion proceeds to the findings of relevant studies concerning the effect of digital reading to comprehension, students and instructors' perception of digital texts, and strategies for reading digital texts.

The present study examined the effects of gender and different types of reading mediums on reading comprehension among students. Forty undergraduates were asked to read four psychopathology texts (two digital texts and two print texts). Results showed that there was no significant difference in reading comprehension between gender. However, the mean scores obtained by females were slightly higher than males. Results also showed that reading comprehension between the two groups (print versus digital) was not significantly different. Nevertheless, the mean scores revealed that participants’ performance in print reading was slightly better than digital reading, suggesting that participants may have benefited a bit more from print reading. The present findings shed further light on the effects of digital reading and print reading on reading comprehension.

Reading literacy is a complex competence that consists of a series of functionally applicable knowledge, skills, attitudes and strategies that the individual gains and uses through formal and informal education and through everyday life. In addition to the skills, which allow the reader to understand individual words and sentences, the backbone of the development of reading literacy is the development of skills and processes that allow them to construct the meaning of the entirety of the text. Mastering these skills paves the way for children to transition from the learning- to-read phase to the reading-to-learn phase, which should take place towards the end of the first cycle of compulsory education. This is why the aim of this study was to explore in detail the difficulties that pupils face at the end of the 4th grade, regarding reading comprehension. The study included 170 pupils from Belgrade. The study was conducted in groups and lasted for one school period. The study used 50 tasks that previous research had shown reliably tested different levels of reading comprehension at the given age. The tasks were divided into six blocks (6 to 9 tasks per block), and each child did two blocks of tasks (incomplete study design). All the incorrect answers were analysed in detail against the type of requirement that the specific task had, and they were classified according to the type of mistake that the child made. The results showed that at the end of the 4th grade a significant number of students had not developed skills that comprise the backbone for reading comprehension, based on which we concluded that their capacity to use reading as a tool of learning and development was somewhat limited.

But the reality is that many of the students still experience difficulties in reading comprehension learning. Therefore, researchers applied an Accelerated Learning approach to improve students' reading comprehension skills. The results showed, the assessment of the process of reading students' skills for each assessment indicator was in the value range of 78.35% to 87.35% which was included in the good and very good category. While the results of the assessment of the overall reading skills process were 82.32% with a very good category.
