In this research, our purpose is to analyze the incidence of discontinuous texts for improving students' reading comprehension of social science topics in secondary school (i.e., 10th and 11th degrees) at Los Nogales Educational Institution, in Monteria, Cordoba. In order to accomplish the purpose of this research, we’ve adopted the qualitative method called action research approach. So, we aim at deconstructing and reconstructing the teaching-learning processes from a theoretical-practical insight that concludes in a pedagogical proposal from the didactic sequences and its evaluation form to surveillance the processes in future interventions, from the levels of reading comprehension in line with cognitive processes and its influence in contributing to the academic performance, not only in the social science field, but also in other areas that require discontinuous texts.
