• Abstract:

  The study aimed to identify the main causes of the lack of reading comprehension in vocational school high school students to improve their teaching and promote a more effective learning environment.

  The methodological strategies included student surveys, analysis of documents and materials related to the teaching of reading, and data analysis to determine relationships between the identified factors and the lack of reading comprehension. A questionnaire with 41 items was administered using a Likert-type scale, where participants indicated their impressions about reading skills, difficulties and strategies associated with reading comprehension.

  The research reveals significant differences in reading skill preferences and approaches among participants, with an emphasis on text comprehension and note taking. The importance of concentration is highlighted in the face of challenges such as lack of time and interest. The variations reflect different perspectives on reading comprehension, underlining the need to adapt teaching to individual requirements. These findings inform effective pedagogical practices and personalized teaching strategies, providing a comprehensive view for improving students' reading skills.
