Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the continuity and coherence of writing skills within the Language and Literature curriculum, from elementary to high school levels, at Pedro Luis Calero Catholic School. Its objective is to propose strategies that strengthen students progressive, meaningful, and long-lasting learning. The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach, employing a case study design supported by document analysis. Data were collected through structured interviews, focus groups, and the analysis of the national curriculum and institutional planning documents. The findings revealed inconsistencies in the sequencing of writing skills, particularly at the middle school level, which result in gaps in the consolidation of students knowledge. Additionally, a limited understanding of the curriculum among teachers was identified, as reflected in area planning and the curricular framework. These results underscore the importance of implementing strategies that ensure the progression, coherence, and continuity of learning.
