Shared reading strategy and reading comprehension

Abstract

The shared reading strategy is a pedagogical model that provides opportunities to improve students’ reading skills. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the influence of shared reading strategy on reading comprehension. For this reason, the researcher conducted a pre-experimental design, where the population was 16 students of seventh grade "G" at the Centro Educativo Bilingue "La Granja". In addition, the pre-test was carried out before the application of the strategy to find out what level the students were at, resulting in a low level of 4.1 out of 10. The application of shared reading strategy was carried out by allowing students to learn in groups or in pairs. At the end of the application, a post-test was carried out with positive results of 6.2 out of 10. The data were analyzed by using the SPSS Software version 26 through the Shapiro-Wilk-normality test and the t-sample test. As a result, the use of the shared reading strategy had a significant influence on students' reading comprehension, because the data allowed to conclude that the post-test was significantly higher than that of the pre-test, resulting in a difference of 2.1 points in the relationship between the pre-test and post-test. For this reason, it is determined that through the interventions and application of shared reading strategy, students were able to improve their reading comprehension.
