Guía metodológica para fortalecer el proceso de lectura crítica en niños y niñas afroecuatorianas a través de la literatura afroecuatoriana

Abstract

The present methodological proposal has the fundamental purpose of strengthening the process of critical reading in Afro-Ecuadorian children aged 8 to 12, through the use of AfroEcuadorian literature as a tool for didactic and cultural purposes. Seeking to improve reading skills by promoting the recognition, appreciation, and cultural identity of all Afro-descendant children. The knowledge pursued consists of developing critical reading skills (interpretation, analysis, and reflection of texts), in addition to the active incorporation of Afro-Ecuadorian literary heritage within educational spaces, thereby promoting respect for diversity and a sense of ethnic belonging. The proposal is organized into five sections: theoretical and contextual foundation; problem diagnosis; design of the methodological guide; application in school contexts; and evaluation of results. This structure allows for practical implementation in intercultural and community educational institutions
