Abstract
The present research aims to implement shared reading as a strategy for the
promotion of initial literacy in a multigrade classroom of the San José de Oriente
Agricultural Technical Educational Institution. Methodologically, it was located
in the post-positivist paradigm, framed in pedagogical action research. For the
exploration of the results, the participant observation technique was applied and
the eld diary and the self-evaluation workshop were used as an instrument. The
work unit consisted of eight children from the multigrade classroom. The results
showed that when using shared reading strategies for literacy from the rst
steps through schooling, resorting to creative forms framed in innovative and
motivational methods, their interest and motivation for learning grows. In the
same way, it was conrmed that the contextualization of the spaces attending
to the particular needs of the students allows for achieving satisfactory results.
Therefore, it is recommended to carry out a exible evaluation before, during,
and after the activities, that verify their interests, as well as using teaching
techniques that provide meaningful experiences gradually strengthening the
academic, emotional, and relational areas where indicators that validate the
proposed objectives are displayed.
Keywords: Reading; literacy; reading comprehension; educational strategies;
