Abstract

Abstract: Summarizing is one of the most widely used study techniques among students due to its effectiveness and ease in grasping the most relevant information from a written text. Therefore, this research aims to understand how summarizing positively influences the development of students' reading comprehension. Through applied instruments, it was determined that summarizing is generally a technique that has significantly benefited students' academic performance. Consequently, due to several identified deficiencies, a pedagogical intervention focused on summarizing was implemented to improve reading comprehension skills in second-year high school students. This process was carried out through a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods through student surveys and teacher interviews. Its implementation has contributed favorably within the educational institution, reinforcing students' cognitive skills, critical thinking, and organization of ideas, improving vocabulary fluency, and strengthening their confidence, creativity, and autonomy. Keywords: Summary, reading comprehension, critical thinking.
