Reading Comprehension Strengthened by Expository Texts

This article is based on the hypothesis that the greater the use of expository texts the better the reading comprehension level among the students; it aims to highlight some results derived from the research Practicas de lectura con textos expositivos para mejorar la comprension lectora en los estudiantes de grado 5 degrees (Reading practices with expository texts for the improvement of reading comprehension in 5th-grade students) through a series of didactic sequences in the San Pablo and Compartir schools. The research was performed under a qualitative approach and it allowed, through the design of the sequences with a strategy and intentional activities, to establish some considerations around the teaching-learning processes of reading comprehension for students and teachers and thus invigorating the work with expository texts.
