Guía orientadora para el fortalecimiento de la comprensión lectora en función de las pruebas saber de lengua castellana en el grado 4.

Abstract

This research was developed over the educational institution ―Colegio Municipal Aeropuerto (I.E.C.M.A) sede Luis Carlos Galan‖ with the purpose of putting in place strategies to improve the reading comprehension level of grade 4 students. The main objective was to create a step by step guide that facilitates the development of reading comprehension skills to be used by educators in order to achieve an advanced level as the one required by the test ―Saber‖ in the area of Spanish language. The methodology used was mainly descriptive and explanatory. The population for this research was the educational institution ―Colegio Municipal Aeropuerto, sede Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento‖ from the city of San Jose de Cúcuta. This institution has a total of 433 students, from which a cohort of 34 students from grade 4 was used as a test sample. Among some of the observations that can be made here, it was evident the lack of reading comprehension skills that students have. Also, the inexistence of strategies applied by teachers to improve them. As a result, the idea of using an instructional guide that includes effective reading strategies from the work made by Isabel Sole on enhancing reading strategies seems to be the best approach to the problem. In fact, the study mentioned above look for obtaining remarkable improvements on the test ―Saber‖.
