- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoReading strategies for the improvement of reading comprehension(Universidad de Guayaquil Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación, 2018) PonceTobón, Leonor; Torres Vivar, EduardoDesign of a Booklet with Interactive reading Strategies to Improve Reading Comprehension in the students of 8th year at 24 de mayo public high school, school year 2014-2015.

That way, extensive reading, reading for fun or pleasure, will take place first. Once that goal is fulfilled, then we could move on to a new challenge like intensive reading
