The development of metacognitive reading comprehension skills is a crucial topic in the educational field, as it allows students to be aware of their own thinking processes and improve their ability to understand and learn from texts. In the case study of the Institución Educativa Número Dos La Inmaculada, this topic was addressed with the purpose of analyzing the impact of metacognitive strategies on students' reading comprehension.The research was carried out using a qualitative approach, employing techniques such as observation, interviews, and document analysis. Workshops and activities that promoted students' metacognitive awareness during reading, such as prediction, comprehension monitoring, and evaluation of the reading process, were implemented.The results of the study demonstrate that the development of metacognitive skills had a positive effect on students' reading comprehension. Participants showed an increased ability to identify main ideas, make inferences, and connect the content of the text with their prior knowledge. Additionally, an increase in motivation and interest in reading was observed.

In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of incorporating metacognitive strategies in the teaching of reading comprehension. By fostering awareness of one's own thinking processes, students can develop skills that allow them to successfully tackle increasingly complex reading tasks.
