Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental linguistic skill for the comprehensive development of students, therefore, it is essential to provide them with opportunities and necessary resources to strengthen both oral and written communication abilities. In order to achieve proper performance in facing academic and personal challenges, it is important to have knowledge and mastery of didactic strategies in teaching, knowing how to teach explicitly and systematically, how to evaluate, select appropriate materials and resources according to the level of reading competencies, and also identify factors that negatively influence the reading comprehension process. It is worth mentioning that one of the factors significantly influencing students' lack of reading comprehension is the ineffective intervention of teachers towards difficulties. For this reason, this thesis is aimed at determining the incidence of reading comprehension in the teaching-learning process of students at the Ciudad de Machala Educational Unit to address the problem. For this purpose, the application of qualitativequantitative methodology was considered, with the objective of understanding the reality of the educational institution. Within the systematically developed methodology to ensure and collect fully valid and reliable information regarding the objectives aimed at improving the students of the institution, qualitative-based techniques and instruments were executed. These included interviews with teachers from the three fifth-grade sections, as well as observation guides providing information in the field of action such as classrooms, and surveys implemented with 101 students to obtain truthful results.
