The sample was divided into two groups, the controlled group who received reading lessons using conventional method, and the treatment group who received reading lessons using educational electronic games. The results showed significant statistical differences (a ≤ 0,05) due to the use of educational electronic games in all the levels of comprehension. In addition, there were significant statistical differences (a ≤ 0,05) in the reading comprehension levels, due to the variable of Gender, in favor of female students.
