Abstract	This article reports on an action research project conducted in a public school in Bogota, Colombia, with tenth grade students. We decided to develop it because of the students’ needs as well as the emphasis of the PEI (Proyecto educativo Institucional = School Institutional Project), which is based on the requisite of improving reading comprehension. The project focused on the implementation of four lesson plans in which five reading strategies were applied. They were reading speed, non-text information, word attack skills, text attack and discursive strategies. Data collection was conducted by using observation, journals, interviews and questionnaires. These instruments provided information about the level of improvement in reading comprehension and evidenced advances in the students’ performance when they read an academic text in English. El presente articulo trata sobre un proyecto de investigacion-accion llevado a cabo en un colegio publico de Bogota, Colombia, con estudiantes de decimo grado. Decidimos desarrollarlo tanto por las necesidades de los estudiantes como por el enfasis del PEI (Proyecto Educativo Institucional), el cual se basa en el mejoramiento de la comprension lectora. El proyecto se centro en el desarrollo de cuatro sesiones de clase en las que se fomento el uso de cinco estrategias: velocidad de lectura, informacion no textual, abordaje de palabras, abordaje del texto y estrategias discursivas. La recoleccion de datos se realizo a traves de la observacion, diarios de campo, entrevistas y cuestionarios. Estos instrumentos suministraron informacion sobre el progreso en la comprension de lectura y evidenciaron avances en el desempeno de los estudiantes al abordar un texto academico en ingles.
