Abstract
The reading process is multiple since within it complex thinking skills underlie
and, through this process, we can have a more critical and reective look at
the world around us. It is also clear that it is necessary to seek strategies that
contribute to strengthening the reading process in students. In this article, the
game is addressed in dierent reading situations, and how it can be established
as a very important didactic strategy to strengthen the process. In addition, the
article gives an account of how various authors have signicantly investigated
playfulness and its incidence in reading processes. The results showed an
improvement in this process of the students, in terms of the literal comprehension
of texts at dierent levels. It was concluded that the playful activities managed
to capture their interest and improve concentration when reading or interpreting
questions related to the texts.
Keywords: strategy; reading; game; strengthening; didactic; process.
