Resumo: It is widely known that effective readers are those who have appropriately developed reading skills. If those skills are not developed, the readers will not achieve the levels of perception needed to solve problems or pass academic tests, neither in their mother tongue nor in a foreign language. For this reason, it is imperative to find the right strategies to enhance reading comprehension in English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. One of those strategies is the use of graphic organizers, and this study aimed to measure the extent to which it influences the development of reading comprehension of Unidad Educativa Joaquin Lalama students, in Ambato-Ecuador. 40 students in the control group and 35 students in the experimental group constituted the sample.  The data was collected through the observation technique and the comparison of results from a reading comprehension pre-test and post-test. Finally, this study found the use of graphic organizers to be effective for developing reading comprehension in the subjects observed.

Si esas destrezas no son desarrolladas, los lectores no alcanzarán los niveles de interpretación necesarios del texto para resolver problemas o para simplemente pasar pruebas académicas, ya sea en su lengua materna o en una lengua extranjera. Por esta razón, es imperativo encontrar estrategias correctas para fortalecer la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de Inglés como lengua extranjera. Una de esas estrategias es el uso de organizadores gráficos, por lo que el presente estudio se enfocó en medir hasta qué punto ello influye en el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora en los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Joaquín Lalama, en Ambato, Ecuador. La muestra estuvo formada por 40 estudiantes en el grupo de control y 35 estudiantes en el grupo experimental. La información fue recogida a través de la técnica de observación y la comparación de resultados de una pre-prueba y una post-prueba de comprensión lectora. Finalmente, se pudo descubrir que el uso de organizadores gráficos para el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora en los sujetos observados fue efectivo.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-07-02info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/88510.1590/SciELOPreprints.885enghttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/885/1237Copyright (c) 2020 Elsa Hernández-Chérrez, Cynthia Soledad Hidalgo-Camacho, Verónica Carrerahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHernández-Chérrez, ElsaHidalgo-Camacho, Cynthia SoledadCarrera, Verónicareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-07-02T00:29:56Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/885Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-07-02T00:29:56SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse

description It is widely known that effective readers are those who have appropriately developed reading skills. If those skills are not developed, the readers will not achieve the levels of perception needed to solve problems or pass academic tests, neither in their mother tongue nor in a foreign language.
