    The main objective of this study is to determine how cooperative learning influences on students' reading comprehension. To confirm the effectiveness of cooperative learning on reading comprehension, a pre-test and a post-test were applied. They are based on the Cambridge PET exam related to reading comprehension section with the students of the first year of the baccalaureate at Unidad Educativa "Riobamba" during the 2017-2018 academic year. This exam was made up of two components: the first component was done with cooperative work in pairs and the second component was carried out with the collaboration among students members of groups composed of four each one. A didactic guide for the teacher was designed which was applied in the classroom and later the data analysis was done before and after the application. A didactic guide for the teacher was designed according to cooperative learning strategies such as jig-saw, thinkpair- share, and reciprocal questioning with the use of three stages of reading that are: before reading, during reading and after reading. After the implementation of the proposal, data analysis was carried out using the T-student mathematical test. It is concluded that students improved their reading comprehension through cooperative work in pairs and groups of four. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers propose cooperative learning in the classroom in order to improve the reading comprehension of the students and in this way strengthen their performance in English learning.
