Summary/Abstract: This study examines the role of digital tools in supporting reading comprehension in primary education, focusing on teachers’ attitudes, practices, and challenges. The theoretical part considers reading literacy as a complex cognitive skill essential for developing critical thinking, digital competence, and lifelong learning. The empirical research was conducted through an author-designed survey among 172 primary school teachers from across the country, showing that teachers actively integrate reading comprehension into all subjects, using both traditional and digital strategies. Data analysis highlights the positive impact of interactive platforms, visual resources, and game-based tools on student engagement and motivation, as well as the need for a differentiated and targeted approach. The study emphasizes the key role of the primary teacher as a facilitator of the learning process and underscores the strategic importance of digitalization for effectively developing reading literacy and preparing students for life in the digital world. Keywords: reading comprehension, digital tools, primary education, reading literacy, interactive resources, pedagogical practices, multimodal strategies
