Its aim was to encourage students to improve reading comprehension of texts in English. It was conducted taking into account students’ needs, interests and level of English. To do it, we implemented two reading strategies: text coding and double entry organizer. We observed the students’ attitudes during two lesson plans, compared their level of comprehension before and after using the reading strategies and asked them to self-evaluate their performance.

El proposito era animar a los estudiantes a mejorar su comprension de textos en ingles. Para ello se tuvieron en cuenta sus necesidades, intereses y nivel de ingles. Se utilizaron dos estrategias de lectura: codificacion de texto y organizador de doble entrada. Observamos la actitud de los estudiantes durante el desarrollo de dos lecciones, comparamos sus niveles de comprension de lectura antes y despues de utilizar las dos estrategias y les pedimos autoevaluar su desempeno. Al final pudimos apreciar mejoria en los niveles de comprension, el disfrute en la realizacion de las actividades y la seguridad que alcanzaron.
