La comprensión lectora, una estrategia que se comunica con base en vocabulario, lenguaje y predicción

Abstract

This article is derived from a research project in the context of the Master in Education of Universidad de Medellín, which the main objective was strengthening the reading comprehension in 9thgrade students from the Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes school through the implementation of a didactic sequence related with the vocabulary, language, and prediction strategy. The information collection was made through interviews and class exercises made by the researchers through Afro-Colombian literature narrative texts. The variables were measured with testsfocused on the syntactic, semantic and pragmatics levels- The results were expressed in accordance with each level. These reveal that the students have a low level of reading comprehension, they do not recognize correctly the structure of the texts, they did not found the main ideas nor made inferences. After implementing the didactic sequence, several improvements were identified in their performance. This can be evidenced in the performed procedures.
