Abstract

Digital text comprehension is the sine qua non for success in the digital world, therefore, there should be a larger emphasis on its development at school. Similar to „traditional” text comprehension, the development of digital text comprehension is a cross-curricular target system which helps students to develop their digital competences. This study distinguishes three levels of text processing based on thinking procedures, reading strategies, and the applied navigational steps and links complex and professional text processing tasks to these levels. The study provides basic non subject-specific digital reading exercises which can be introduced in different didactic phases during the lesson and which facilitate the development of students with various learning styles. Most of these text comprehension exercises are based on the critical processing of search engine hit lists, on creating awareness of the diversity of moving along the reading path, and on the use of web 2.0 applications for learning.
