CEIP Huerta Retiro Reading Project
CEIP Huerta Retiro Reading Project
The preparation of this Reading and Writing Project responds, on the one hand, to the interests of the own
to determine a set of measures, practices, and spaces with the fundamental purpose of facilitating the
access to reading and develop the reading habit among the members of the educational community in their
set.
From the conviction that the educational center plays an essential role in the creation and development
on reading habits and that the school library should become the heart of teaching activities
with the ability to discover possibilities for change in pedagogical practice, the set of
proposals and materials presented in this document.
This project not only accommodates activities typical of the library as a physical space, but also to a
set of activities for the development of literacy and expression in a practical way
functional that enables the parallel development of the language curriculum in particular and of all the
primary areas in general. To do this, we take the collective reading book as an axis of action that
it has each course.
General Objectives
• We must be clear that promoting reading should not only consist of organizing parties,
shows, events, etc. It is not forced school work, with grades, in which forms are filled out
facts, serious comments are made, etc. What it should never be is an act of improvisation.
• Utilize this project and everything that arises from it, integrating it into teaching practice,
turning it into a document that generates activities to reinforce and develop habits
readers, writing skills, and self-learning abilities.
• Involve and give participation to the different sectors of the educational community (especially to the
family and AMPA) in the program proposals in order to help create a reading environment
inside and outside the classroom and the center.
• Design and create work materials and proposals for reading promotion (techniques and
strategies for the promotion and development of reading/writing and research skills
research aimed at students of all levels.
• Organize and celebrate the Animated Reading Week every year.
Specific objectives
Every active reading implies an effort to master and govern that same reading. For this, one

• The promotion of reading/writing will be carried out with the design by a working group (team that

procedures.
• Bring the book closer to the child, allowing them to discover the treasures contained in books,
creating situations of need to read/write.
• Enhancing the inherent values in all assets, proposing intervention and the protagonism of

• To provoke a smile, joy, and enjoyment of reading. Also reflection and critique, creating
situations and environments in the classroom and in the center that allow interaction between the teachers, the
readers and the texts themselves that foster a greater richness in the construction of meanings.
From our center, we want to eradicate the false ideas that exist about books and reading:
The general actions for dynamization are described below. The specification of all of them and the
lines of action for the development of reading and writing in our center, as the axis of activities, the
we detail in the section "Description of the Action Plan."
The books are organized by sections and identified by colors. In this way, the books from the first

classroom programming, the organization of a library in the classroom offers greater possibilities of
systematization of the teacher's interventions. It also ensures some continuity. bringing closer and

PROJECT COORDINATION
The person coordinating the project is Mrs. Jacquelín Núñez Cabello. The dynamization is supported by
a team of teachers that form the working group "Development of literacy and its inclusion in the
educational project.” In the mentioned group, there will always be a representative from each cycle as well as the head of
studies and all those people who, due to their concerns, training, experience... want to belong
to him.

learning in all areas and the personal growth of students

b) Of the students.
Students should play a high degree of autonomy and participation in the program (creation of
organizational structures: library monitor team, radio or press team, readers' club,
support team for the animation events, etc.). The possibilities of personally communicating your
reading experiences not only in the school center, but also outside of it or in other schools,
allowing the dissemination and distribution of your works (books, articles, research ...) will contribute to
a positive way to energize the reading environment of the center.

practical implementation of this project.
As a reference for the activities, we take the collective reading books by levels. From there,
they can establish the general lines of activities such as:
A competent reader, when faced with the task of understanding a text, employs many strategies,

awareness of whether or not the reading is understood. The fact of realizing that something is not understood is
fundamental to overcome this limitation. At this point we consider that to read are

We understand comprehension as the process by which the reader assimilates what is written (relating it to what they know) and it
accommodates (transforms their prior knowledge based on the contribution of the text). Therefore, the
reading comprehension is always relative to the subject and therefore there will be more or less understandings
adjusted to the text.
Not all texts are read in the same way, we must take into account why we read and the
importance of what we read. We must clearly and understandably state what objectives
we want to achieve, present the text, contextualize it and, as much as possible, link it to the
resolution of a specific problem with a specific purpose.
Before reading, it is advisable to explore prior ideas, rely on linguistic elements, and not

• Predictions: it motivates the reader, goals are established. We make use of covers, titles,

• Prior knowledge: it must be detected by the readers through questions and dialogues with
them. It helps to understand the text that is going to be read.

the words with the context.
• Visualize: Make concrete and real what is read. The reader forms a mental image and helps the
memory.
• Preguntas: Preguntas sobre el texto antes, durante y después de la lectura (no sólo preguntas
directs) that help review the content, solve problems, build understanding… the
student thinks while reading. They must provoke debate. Anticipate what will happen. Point out
important ideas or those that are difficult to understand.

To your mind?, Do you know something similar?... all of this activates the schemas of knowledge.
• Active listening: The reader listens to what they read. It is related to reading fluency.
• Inferences: It promotes the reader-text dialogue (contradictions between the reader's previous ideas and
the later parts of the text). It relates to what is called "reading between the lines," since the reader

solve them based on the strategies outlined.
• Remembering content from the reading without needing to refer to the text, rewriting the story.
• Summary: Organization of information. Capturing the essentials, prioritizing ideas. Is it capable of
to say it in a few sentences
• Evaluate the reading: Value judgments about the reading, propose ideas, give opinions...
• Put an alternative title
• Give new characteristics to the characters (invented and based on what has been read)
• Express in another way another ending if it is a story or express it differently.
• If it is a poem, transform it into narration.
To carry out these strategies, it is necessary to explain them to the students, make demonstrations. Guide the
students and make them reflect on it.
These strategies should be adapted to the type of text (readings on themes, problems, stories, short readings,
long...) and at the student level. Likewise, it is not necessary to use them all at all times, as they
They can apply one or the other in isolation.
Methodological guidelines
Points to consider
a) Establish clear cognitive purposes, setting understandable, evident, and explicit objectives.
b) Divide the task into meaningful parts and aim to provide a synthetic overview at the end.
c) Adjust the demands of the task and the abilities of the students
d) Use models and procedures that generate intellectual resources and facilitate the task
e) To guide cognitive behaviors so that they become internalized through their use
Trigger prior knowledge
g) Stimulate metacognitive discussion
h) Teach students to plan and organize tasks and distribute resources appropriately.
attention
i) Ensure that all teaching actions are guided by a high level of motivation and interest
Types of texts:
• Use contextualized and functional texts (letters, news articles, brochures, newspapers...)
• Different registers (formal, colloquial...)
