Abstract

The study entitled "Strategy for Evaluating the Impact of the Super Letras Learning Centers in Fourth Grade" focused on designing a strategy to evaluate the impact of these centers on the development of linguistic macroskills in fourth grade students of the Fe y Alegría "Ambato" Educational Unit. The methodology applied was mixed, including a documentary review of the Tekman Education program, the application of a Macroskills test to students to measure the contribution that the program provides to the development of macroskills. An empirical validation method was also used through surveys and observation guides in Language and Literature classes, and statistical analysis was applied to evaluate the results. The results show a positive impact on the students' linguistic skills, highlighting a greater motivation and predisposition to learning through adapted strategies. The students showed progress in comprehension, oral and written expression, and independent reading. The findings underline the effectiveness of the Super Letters Learning Centers, suggesting the need for customized training and systematic follow-up assessments to further enhance their impact in the classroom. This strategy promotes inclusive and tailored teaching, optimizing the development of language skills.
