Resumen  
Este trabajo de investigación involucró a estudiantes de séptimo grado de la Unidad Educativa

incluyó una población de 26 estudiantes, de 10 y 12 años, tanto hombres como mujeres. Todos  
los estudiantes participaron en la investigación, la cual proporcionó datos específicos y del mundo  
real para su análisis. Se utilizó un enfoque de investigación de campo para comprender los  
desafíos reales que enfrentan los estudiantes en el aprendizaje de vocabulario. Además, se  
implementó un diseño pre-experimental para estructurar las intervenciones y controlar las

resultados cuantitativos medibles. Durante las clases, se implementó la estrategia de lectura  
compartida, combinando la enseñanza guiada con el trabajo en parejas. El docente introdujo  
inicialmente estrategias de lectura para facilitar la comprensión de los estudiantes, incluyendo  
actividades interactivas y la comprensión de vocabulario. A esto le siguió la colaboración  
estudiantil mediante la relectura, fomentando el trabajo en equipo y la participación activa. Para  
medir la efectividad de la estrategia, se utilizó el Cambridge Pre-A1 Starters Test. Una prueba  
previa evaluó el vocabulario inicial y la comprensión lectora de los estudiantes, mientras que una  
prueba posterior evaluó el progreso después de las intervenciones. Los resultados de las  
evaluaciones se calificaron en una escala de 10 puntos. Finalmente, se demostró una mejora  
significativa en la adquisición de vocabulario. Todos los estudiantes completaron ambas  
evaluaciones, y se utilizó la prueba de rangos con signo de Wilcoxon debido a la distribución no  
normal de las puntuaciones del postest. El análisis estadístico confirmó el impacto positivo de la  
estrategia de lectura compartida. Los hallazgos respaldan la lectura compartida como un enfoque  
eficaz para mejorar la adquisición de xiii vocabulario de los estudiantes, enfatizando el valor de

Abstract  
This research work involved seventh-grade students at Unidad Educativa Santa Mariana de  
Jesús. The primary objective was to evaluate how this shared reading strategy could contribute  
to vocabulary development in young students. The study included a population of 26 students,  
both male and female, aged between 10 and 12. All students participated in the research, which  
provided specific and real-world data for analysis. A field research approach was used to  
understand the real challenges students face in vocabulary learning. Furthermore, a pre-  
experimental design was implemented to structure the interventions and control variables,  
ensuring more accurate results. Therefore, this research presented measurable quantitative  
results. During the classes, the shared reading strategy was implemented, combining guided  
teaching with pair work. The teacher first introduced reading strategies to facilitate student’s  
understanding, including interactive activities and vocabulary comprehension. This was followed  
by student collaboration through rereading, encouraging teamwork and active participation. To  
measure the strategy's effectiveness, the Cambridge Pre-A1 Starters Test was used. A pretest  
assessed students' initial vocabulary and reading comprehension, while a posttest evaluated

progress following the interventions. The results of the assessments were graded on a 10-point  
scale. Finally, a significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition was demonstrated. All students  
completed both assessments, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used due to the non-normal  
distribution of posttest scores. Statistical analysis confirmed a positive impact of the shared  
reading strategy. The findings support shared reading as an effective approach for enhancing  
students' vocabulary acquisition, emphasizing the value of guided and collaborative practices in  
language teaching.

Therefore, 19 previous studies were

of analysis that allows combining  
results from several studies, it was  
found that shared reading has a

comprehension in these students,  
regardless of whether they need

Educativa Santa Mariana de Jesús.  
The first session was used for the  
pretest, seven classes for strategy  
development, and the last for the  
posttest. It is important to mention  
that the first, third, fifth, and seventh  
sessions were planned for two  
pedagogical hours. The lesson plans  
were adapted to the institution's  
curriculum, so the general objective  
focused on teacher continuity in  
classes, and the specific objectives  
addressed the application of the two  
variables of the research work. In the  
first session, the teacher began with  
a dynamic activity to engage the  
students and create a positive  
environment. The topic of the simple  
past tense with regular verbs was  
then introduced. The teacher used  
visual aids and gestures to present  
the content in an accessible way,  
encouraging student participation  
through questions and simple  
examples. As the class progressed,  
the students identified a reading with  
verbs in the past tense. With the  
teacher's help, they identified verbs  
and analyzed new vocabulary. The  
students participated orally and in  
writing, first through guided activities  
and then through teamwork. In  
negations and interrogatives, and  
then compared their answers with  
the entire class. To conclude the  
class, the teacher led a brief oral  
review activity in which the students  
answered questions using regular  
verbs in the past tense. In the second  
session, the difference between  
regular and irregular verbs in the past  
tense was introduced, using a variety  
of strategies to support student  
comprehension. Particular emphasis  
was placed on the shared reading  
strategy using the book People from  
History, where two characters were  
selected for the teacher to read aloud  
while the students followed along,  
pausing to identify new vocabulary  
and underline the past tense verbs.  
This activity allowed students to  
contextually identify verbs and  
encouraged active and collaborative  
participation, which was then  
complemented during group practice  
by classifying verbs and transforming  
affirmative sentences into negative  
ones and vice versa. 22 In the third  
session, the topic "Famous People  
and Important Events in the Past"  
was developed, focusing on reading  
comprehension with the recognition  
and use of past tense verbs. The  
shared reading strategy was again

writing activity. An image of  
Balthazar Ushca was used, and  
students wrote short stories in the  
past tense, using the newly learned  
vocabulary. This assessed reading  
comprehension and encouraged  
written work. In the fifth session, the  
topic "Exploring History through  
Guided Reading: The Story of  
Pompeii" was developed, integrating  
diverse skills with a strong focus on  
vocabulary  
through  
gestures,  
pictures, or examples, allowing  
students to understand the content  
without the need for translation.  
Students worked in pairs to further  
develop the strategy. This strategy  
encouraged the acquisition of new  
vocabulary and also the identification  
of past-tense verbs, which were  
subsequently classified and used by  
the students to form sentences, thus  
improving their written and oral skills.

statistical analysis confirmed that this

among  
seventh-grade students at the  
Unidad Educativa Santa Marianita de  
Jesús. The null hypothesis, which  
suggests that the strategy has no  
effect on vocabulary acquisition, was  
evaluated using a related-samples  
analysis of variance. The test  
showed a significance level of less  
than 0.001, below the predefined  
threshold of 0.05. Therefore, the null  
hypothesis is rejected. This rejection  
indicates evidence that the shared  
reading strategy has a significant

on students' vocabulary acquisition.  
All participants improved their  
performance, as confirmed by the  
Wilcoxon test. This strategy was both  
effective and equitable, benefiting all  
students equally and demonstrating  
its applicability as an effective  
teaching resource.  
This research work concluded that  
the shared reading strategy offered  
significant benefits for vocabulary  
acquisition among English as a  
foreign language (EFL) student. This  
strategy allowed for guided and  
contextualized expression of new  
words, facilitated students' correct
