Reading plays an important role in the integral development of students, strengthening and enhancing their abilities of interpretation, understanding and basic communication skills for good school performance. The study sought to strengthen reading and reading comprehension through Information and Communication Technologies (TIC) in basic education. With a qualitative methodological design under the participatory action research (IAP) model, the data collection techniques used were the participant observation and the field diary. There were one hundred twenty-nine (129) participants from the Francisco de Paula Santander educational institution, José Maria Córdoba headquarters. The results of the observation showed weaknesses in the reading and reading comprehension processes, omitting and confusing letters, low verbal fluency and lack of interest in reading, for which the teachers designed pedagogical strategies based on ICT to solve this problem.
