Dimensión funcional para fortalecer la comprensión lectora en el sexto año del área de Lengua y Literatura: la experiencia de la biblioteca funcional.

Abstract

The present research focuses on addressing reading comprehension in the context of the sixth grade of Basic Education, with the aim of strengthening it through a functional dimension. To this end, we designed a library as an educational intervention proposal, accompanied by an activity guide that includes a literary café, character journals, hidden treasure, and literary cinema. Our theoretical framework is grounded in the study of the subject at three levels: literal, inferential, and critical; the didactics of Language and Literature; the curriculum; and the functional approach for its enhancement. The methodological design encompasses a socio-critical paradigm with a qualitative approach, followed by an action-research method. The results show that the functional dimension enhances motivation, promotes reading habits, and contributes to the development of communicative and reflective skills.
