Influence of the LEE Comprensivamente Program in the Development of Reading Comprenhension

Abstract

The current research has the purpose of demonstrating the level of influence of the LEE comprensivamente program based on a metacognitive approach proposed by Gottheil et al. (2013). This program was applied to third grade section “C” primary students at a religious private school in  Santa Anita district in order to develop their reading comprehension skills. The study is preexperimental. In order to measure the dependent variable, the ACL-3 test was applied at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. Th e test was designed by Catalí , G., Catalí , M., Molina, E. and R. Monclús (2001). The instrument measures the students´ reading comprehension level regarding four dimensions: literal, reorganizing, inferential and critical. The results demonstrated that the LEE comprensivamente metacognitive program influences the development of reading comprehension in three dimensions: literal, inferential and critical.
