      <dc:description>The Spanish school-age population has improved significantly in reading acquisition in comparison with European&#xd;
partners (PIRLS, 2016). However, it is necessary to implement complementary strategies to classroom work in order to&#xd;
reinforce reading comprehension and increase the level achieved by pupils. In a social and educational context such as&#xd;
the current one, where ICT strategies are undeniably gaining prominence and emerging as an appropriate option for&#xd;
increasing performance and motivation, it is worth considering reinforcing those skills that are most lacking in our&#xd;
educational system by using quality technological resources. The aim of this study was to test the improvement of&#xd;
students’ reading comprehension and to favour an increase in academic performance through training with the digital&#xd;
serious game Leobien. The intervention was carried out during 50 sessions with a sample of 153 primary school students.&#xd;
To measure the impact of the intervention, an initial and final assessment of the acquisition of reading comprehension&#xd;
was carried out, provided by the programme itself, as well as the recording of academic grades. The results show an&#xd;
increase in the sub-subject of reading comprehension assessed through the platform, as well as an improvement in&#xd;
academic grades, especially in English, Mathematics, and Spanish Language and Literature. The number of sessions and&#xd;
the strategy of use provide concrete guidelines for success for schools.</dc:description>
