It is estimated that digital learning environments, which started to gain an important place in education with the global covid 19 epidemic, will be permanent in education after the pandemic. Research on digital learning environments is gaining importance for educators and students trying to adapt to distance education. In distance learning environments based on individualized instruction, students' improved reading skills will increase their success. It is thought that it is necessary to focus on studies on reading strategies in learning environments so that students can better understand what they read. Based on this need, in this study, it is aimed to evaluate the applications that will make the "Communication with the Child" course in the Child Development associate degree program in the 2021-2022 Fall semester more productive through distance education. In the study, action research, one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred. In this study, in which the researcher was involved as a practitioner, "an approach based on reading texts and reading strategies" was adopted in the learning-teaching process of the course, and the reflections of the practices suitable for this approach throughout the process were investigated. A 14-week action plan was prepared for the research. Forty students from different achievement levels and classes were included in the research by using the purposeful sampling method. Data collected from students; were obtained through open-ended questionnaires, student assignments and interviews. Necessary adjustments were made in line with the feedback received from the students throughout the process. According to the research findings, it was concluded that a distance learning process based on reading texts based on the use of reading strategies in the Child Communication course contributed to student motivation and the efficiency of the course. Based on these results, it is recommended to conduct different studies on the subject and to make similar applications in different courses.
