Therefore, an action plan was designed to implement the reading of discontinuous texts to facilitate learning in Natural Sciences for the sixth grade of the Presbítero Álvaro Suárez Educational Institution. The study was action research with a qualitative approach, in which a group of 30 students participated. The methodology used was framed in the sociocritical paradigm through action research, in search of changing a reality and that is why the following research report arises; In fact, the results of the SABER TESTS in the areas of science and language in the last two years were used, starting from an analysis as the central axis of the problem to recognize weaknesses, strengths and opportunities for improvement. Thus, it included the interdisciplinary nature of humanities and sciences, demonstrating that science can be worked on in a practical and experimental way through the development of reading skills with ICFES-type workshops.
