This investigation focuses on applying didactic strategies to strengthen, thus exploring which activities are the most appropriate for this skill and what academic impact they can have in the classroom. That allows the teacher to consider more options regarding planning his English class, as explained by Caro, Marín, and González (2018); the fact of considering the pedagogical act also tends to discover possible frustrations and attitudes of the practitioner that are not often analyzed in detail, and that may be the cause why the planning or execution of the classes does not work or turn out as planned. The objective of the pedagogical proposal is to test the effectiveness of some extracurricular activities within the classroom to enhance the reading comprehension of sixth and seventh-grade students of the "Rebaño del Señor" school. For this purpose, the following three activities were implemented: Reading Little Red Riding Hood and dramatization, and two card games called "Common Threads" and "Mad Gab.". It's important to highlight that these activities were proposed in response to the diagnosis made, which indicates that the students' average level is A1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The implementation results yielded different conclusions, such as the motivation and interest of students in new and innovative strategies that include cognitive, procedural, and attitudinal skills.
