La lectura comprensiva y el rendimiento académico en el subnivel de Educación General Básica: Básica Media

Abstract

This monographic work is situated in the field of Basic Education, specifically in the area of Language and Literature. The purpose of the study was to theoretically demonstrate how reading comprehension influences the academic performance of children in Secondary Education through documentary research, in addition to proposing strategies that contribute to improving reading comprehension. This monograph is divided into three fundamental chapters in which reading comprehension, academic performance and the relationship between them are theoretically addressed. Reading comprehension is understood as a process in which the reader uses strategies to understand the message of the texts and relate them to their previous knowledge and experiences, while academic performance is considered as a qualitative and quantitative assessment of everything achieved in the teaching-learning process. Finally, it was evidenced that reading comprehension significantly influences the academic performance of Basic Education students in all areas of knowledge. For this reason, it is necessary to develop activities that strengthen reading comprehension, which will help students to function adequately not only in the academic sphere but also in the social and personal sphere
