Abstract

Abstract:The present research paper is about the comprehension and motivation of reading in third year high school students of the Ángel Polibio Chávez Educational Unit, Canton Quito, during the 2018 - 2019 school year. The objective of this study was to determine the understanding and motivation in the acquisition of the reading competence of third year high school students. To this end, the Angel Polibio Chávez Educational Unit is taken as a research site and 31 students were studied as a study sample, to whom the survey technique was applied through a previously structured questionnaire. The results showed that learners conceive of reading as a mechanism to update knowledge, as well as have no interest in reading, which has influenced a low level of reading comprehension. Hence, teaching strategies on reading motivation and the design of a reading corner are proposed, as a contribution to improve knowledge and motivation for reading, thus achieving better educational training and school performance.
