The objective of this study is to identify the main needs present in a group of elementary school students in terms of their comprehension reading level and, based on this, to propose a series of recreational activities to achieve the improvement of this skill, taking into consideration that recreational activities represent a pedagogical tool that contributes to enhance the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills in the student, improving aspects such as motivation, predisposition, active participation, and also allows relating the contents addressed with positive emotional charges. The methodology used in the development of the research is framed in the qualitative-quantitative approach, through the application of the survey technique directed to teachers and students, complemented with the applied modality since a proposal adjusted to the dimensions and characteristics of the problem within the School of Basic Education Numa Pompilio Llona was developed. The main results show that 50% of the students read little, 70% prefer to read stories, 90% prefer their teacher to encourage reading through playful activities and 40% of them refer to a lack of reading comprehension.
