Fortalecimiento de la lectura y escritura a través de la literatura infantil en los estudiantes de 2° de básica primaria del Colegio San José de Cúcuta sede Mercedes Ábrego.

Abstract

The main objective of this research work is to strengthen the reading and writing processes in the students of 2nd grade of elementary school of Colegio San José de Cúcuta, Mercedes Ábrego, through the use of children's literature as a pedagogical strategy, taking into account that it was observed that students have a perception of responsibility regarding these processes, without finding in them the pleasure, motivation and satisfaction necessary to successfully carry out their learning process in all academic areas. Therefore, 21 students were taken as the population, from which a sample of 5 randomly selected key informants was selected, who participated in an interview conducted at each pedagogical meeting. Based on the above and in order to improve the aforementioned processes, a pedagogical proposal was designed based on the strategies proposed by Daniel Cassany, a recognized expert in the field of reading and writing. This proposal was carried out in the classroom, where different activities and strategies were developed according to the needs of each student. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative approach was used and the pedagogical action research method was implemented, applying as data collection instruments the diagnostic evaluation, the summative evaluation and the structured interview. On the other hand, several theoreticians representing the field of reading and children's literature, such as Isabel Solé and Juan Cervera, were taken into account, with whom a contrast of theories was made, in order to optimally execute the project. The results showed that children's literature awakened the students' interest and motivation, stimulated their imagination, enriched their vocabulary, improved their written expression and reading comprehension. In addition, students' active participation was encouraged, promoting a collaborative and enriching learning environment. Finally, it is recommended that this approach be implemented in other educational institutions in order to strengthen reading and writing skills in elementary school students.
