Reading comprehension is a complex process that begins to develop before a child begins to learn coding and decoding. Children within their environment learn language rules on a daily basis through various activities. Furthermore, in order to acquire reading skills, they need to have a healthy mental development. Reading comprehension is influenced by a variety of factors. One of these factors is movement. Movement improves motor, cognitive, conative and emotional-social abilities. Since movement proves to be very beneficial to our brain function, it is important that movement is included in reading comprehension. In order for a text to be read with understanding, it is necessary to have good reading skills and to understand the meaning of the text. Certain Brain Gym movements influence these skills. This thesis presents exercises that affect reading comprehension. The research was conducted in such a way that students wrote an exam, before which a group of students performed certain exercises and the other group did not. The research was conducted among second, third and fourth grade students of primary schools in Zagreb. The aim of the research was to determine the impact of movement on reading comprehension success. A total of 64 students participated in this research. The final results of both groups were compared and the group of students who conducted Brain Gym exercises before writing the exam did not show better performance than the group of students who did not conduct exercises. The survey was conducted on a small sample, via an online exam due to the state of emergency in the state, which could have affected the results. It cannot be said with certainty whether the results could have been different if the situation was different. However, based on the information given in the thesis, I believe that the movements have a positive effect on reading comprehension.
