Reading and writing in middle school: Fundamental basis for reading comprehension.

Abstract

This research project analyzes the problems of the process of literacy and reading comprehension in students in the fourth year of Basic General Education of the Simón Bolívar Educational Unit. This variable has a negative impact on the educational process and on the future learning of the student. This microcurricular research is born from an evidenced problem, so the objective is to know the causes and consequences of the problem in students. Field research was carried out based on the work of the classroom teacher. The methodology used is qualitative, because the answers of the interview with the classroom teacher and a test to the students were taken as data, with which, a descriptive analysis of the cognitive level of the students in terms of reading comprehension could be carried out. These data were tabulated and analyzed, allowing actions to be taken for a proposal that contributes to improving the reading and writing of students. From these findings it is concluded that the lack of reading and writing skills limits the ability of students to access information, understand complex concepts and express themselves effectively to ensure a fair, equitable and quality educational process for all students, through the implementation of different pedagogical strategies focused on literacy and reading comprehension.
