ABSTRACT

The hypothesis of this study is based on the fact that a remediation program with the Cloze Technique, leveled by different degrees of difficulties, it can contribute to the development of reading comprehension of students with reading comprehension difficulties. Therefore, the objective was to develop this program and analyze the clinical significance. For this, an intervention program was developed through a bibliographic review and after that a pilot study was carried out and applied in 28 elementary school students, divided into Group I Experimental (students with difficulty in narrative text submitted to the intervention); Group I Control (students with difficulty in narrative text not submitted to the intervention); Group II Experimental (students with difficulty in expository text submitted to the intervention); Group II Control (students with difficulty in expository text not submitted to the intervention). The results analyzed by the JT Method showed a reliable positive change with clinical significance for students in Group I Study, and significantly for students in Group II Experimental.
