Strengthening reading comprehension through Isabel Solé's reading strategies (1992)

Abstract

This research with a qualitative approach and a non-experimental design has the general objective of strengthening reading comprehension through the “Reading Comprehension Strategies” Theory by Solé (1992) in ninth grade students of the María Concepción Loperena Municipal Educational Institution. This objective is intended to be achieved by using observation and unstructured interview techniques to identify deficiencies in reading comprehension that affect academic performance. Based on these results, workshops and activities focused on reading stages and comprehension levels were implemented. The results showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension, especially in critical and analytical skills, and in reading interest. Prior to the intervention, there were difficulties at the inferential level. However, after implementing the strategies, the students made significant progress in literal, inferential, and critical comprehension, demonstrating the effectiveness of Isabel Solé's strategies.
