Abstract

The current reality of Ecuadorian educational institutions demands urgent changes in the development of the subject of Language and Literature that favor special attention to the act of reading and, therefore, reading comprehension. Therefore, this research aimed to develop a didactic strategy for developing reading comprehension in students in the eighth year of Higher Basic Education at the Elías Cedeño Jerves Educational Unit in Canoa, San Vicente, Manabí. So, it is framed in the qualitative methodology under the case study method. The key informants were thirty eighth-year students surveyed as a study technique. The results allowed us to observe that the application of didactic strategies of a playful and interactive nature favors students' cognitive skills development. Therefore, it allows them to understand literary texts and develop autonomous learning.
