    Promoting reading skills in middle childhood is essential for cognitive, social, spiritual, andmoral development. However, global, national, and local research highlights limited progressin these skills. This study evaluated the impact of an intervention programtoimprovereading skills in 73 fifth-grade students from basic education schools in Cuenca, distributedacross three quasi-experimental studies with experimental and control conditions. Theresearchers used the PROLEC-R test to assess participants during the pretest andposttest phases. Experimental groups participated in eight thematic sessions, while control groupsreceived no support. The Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon W statistical tests were usedfor the analysis of differences, and the biserial rank correlation for effect size. Results showedsignificant intra-group improvements (p ≤ 0.05) in all three studies. In the post test intergroupanalysis of the third study, the experimental group showed significant differences (p≤0.05) in Letter Identification (Same-Different) and Semantic Comprehension (Sentence andText Comprehension). In conclusion, while all studies evidenced significant intra-groupimprovements, the intergroup analysis of the third study demonstrated the effectivenessof the intervention program, highlighting the importance of gamified activities in strengtheningreading processes.
