Estrategias para mejorar la comprensión lectora en los estudiantes de quinto grado de EGB

Abstract

Improving reading comprehension is a study of the reality of reading comprehension in fifth grade students of basic general education in a school in the Huaquillas canton in the province of El Oro. Its general objective is to contribute to improving reading comprehension in the students of parallel A of 5th grade of Basic General Education of the Espiritu de Sabiduría school through the design of a psychopedagogical intervention proposal with interactive didactic strategies. To develop this proposal, a diagnosis of the students' level of reading comprehension was carried out by applying the PROLEC -R test to 24 fifth grade students of EGB, from the aforementioned educational institution. The application of the test focused on five of the nine variables proposed by this psychometric instrument, those that assess reading comprehension, word reading, pseudoword reading, sentence comprehension, text comprehension, and oral comprehension. The study showed that more than half of the students have mild and severe difficulty in reading comprehension. Another instrument used was the semi-structured interview applied to the three teachers of the grade, revealing that they use few methodological strategies for reading and that their procedures are not received by students. The study concludes with the design of a psychopedagogical intervention proposal that includes ten didactic sessions that combine play with multimedia gamification. The proposal lasts six weeks and its application is adjustable to the specific reality of the classroom.
