Starting from the identification of a particularly relevant problem such as the low levels of reading comprehension in the Italian school and their repercussions on the study activities, the article presents some results relating to the research project: Reading comprehension and study strategies with high inclusive potential for students with specific learning disorders (SLD). Within an inclusive perspective and on the basis of effective teaching strategies in the evidence based education (EBE) perspective, the project created and tested - using a Design Based Research - both a didactic kit (SUST) for fifth grade classes attended by pupils with SLD and a training method for the teachers of the intervention classes. The positive results of the application of the kit and the teacher training open up a constructive scenario for the definition of a program aimed to improve reading comprehension and the study skills of students with SLD to be tested in a bigger number of schools.
