Abstract

Education, nowadays, has become an issue of great importance for society; day by day, it is possible to observe how the processes of education and academic training are more demanding as for example when it was necessary to venture into virtual teaching models at the time of the pandemic or how teachers have had to be updated to be able to go hand in hand with what raises artificial intelligences; Among other aspects that are worth rethinking, the general objective of this theoretical approach focuses on reflecting on the importance of reading comprehension as a fundamental element in the teaching-learning processes of elementary school students in Colombia. Elements that allow to deepen on theoretical contributions centered on studies and therefore on duly proven works that show the incidence of reading comprehension. The methodology is based on a review carried out through some web search engines such as SCOPUS, Sciencie-Direct and Google Scholar, from which some documents were taken that allowed the construction of this contribution through an academic essay; It is significant to mention that conceptual contributions and procedural elements are derived that come to facilitate the teachers actions and good practices so that from the classrooms it is possible to strengthen the teaching of reading comprehension in order to improve the academic performance of students in basic education; thus ensuring quality in educational processes such as teaching and learning from which the quality of education arises.
