The results demonstrated that it is not an easy skill since most of learners have many reading issues. Text Mapping Technique was applied to enhance reading skills for learners. Thorough these visual technique students understood how information was organized in content area text. This technique was useful because it helped students to understand better the text, using the text itself as a means marking different features and retain the content. After this process, students took a post-test to see if the Text Mapping Technique made any difference regarding the reading skills performance. The findings indicated that the students got a higher average in the reading post-test in comparison with the average obtained in the pre-test. Based on this analysis, teachers were suggested to apply Text Mapping Technique in their reading lesson to enhance the reading skills. On the other hand, to obtain depth information about students‟ opinion after to use Text Mapping Technique, a survey was applied which helped to sustain the present research, as well as the theories and models that adjust to the development of the proposal to improve the education in this institution.

    The development of reading skills from early levels is the key tool to successes not only in the academic context but also for personal development. Reading at literal level is the starting point so students get the basic to develop comprehension reading skills at a higher level. Nevertheless, the test results on reading skill have shown lower grades. Many factors are related to this issue; lack of motivation when reading has been considered as one of the main concerns, the use of one size fits all instruction has not met all students ´needs, interests or learning preferences. The current research focused on students´ differences; thus, a quasi-experiment was carried out at Languages Center-Universidad Técnica de Ambato, two groups of students from A1 English levels were part of this research. The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of Differentiated Instruction on Reading skills at A1 English level. The process involved the implementation of differentiated instruction with the experimental group. A pre-test and pos-test were applied to the control and experimental groups to test the hypothesis. The results showed a positive impact on reading skills, there was a significant gain in the post test scores. The differentiated strategies met students’ needs, readiness level, learning styles and interests.: Working under different modalities facilitate students´ engagement during reading activities. ´Reading in Peers, reading in groups, reading alone and reading for fluency. Teacher´s assisted learners through content differentiation, process and product differentiation during the instruction. A replica of the quasi-experiment is recommended to be applied to students of higher levels to see and confirm the great benefits of the implementation of Differentiated Instruction on the development of reading skills. As an application of the research, an e-book with differentiated strategies was developed to guide for teachers of A1 English level at the Languages Center-Universidad Técnica de Ambato, they know How to implement the Differentiated Instruction in their classes.
