Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of pictograms for pre-reading in high school children at the Bernardo Valdivieso Millennium Educational Unit in the city of Loja, Ecuador. A quasi-experimental design was chosen. The results obtained after the implementation of the intervention based on the use of pictograms in the initial phase of pre-reading reveal a significant change in the level of reading aptitude in high school children. The dramatic 62% increase from an initial 7% to an impressive 69% of children considered reading literate conclusively indicates the positive and notable effectiveness of this strategy in the development of pre-reading skills, accepting the affirmative hypothesis and rejecting the null hypothesis. This innovative approach represents a significant step toward building a solid foundation for the literacy journey.
