Mnemonic strategies improve the reading comprehension of school-age students.

Is it true that Mnemonic strategies improve the reading comprehension of school-age students?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources indicate mnemonic strategies are among the techniques associated with improved reading comprehension in school-age students, including one quasi-experiment reporting keyword mnemonic instruction improved comprehension, but each covers only a narrow population or bundles mnemonics with other strategies, so the evidence supports the claim only in part.
