Resumen

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the ILVEM method on reading speed and comprehension among students at a private university in Trujillo during the year 2023. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive-explanatory approach was adopted, using a preexperimental design. The sample consisted of 45 students from this educational institution. For data collection, tools such as the ILVEM Evaluation System, a mechanical stopwatch, and a specific reading comprehension assessment test were used. Preliminary results showed that before the implementation of the ILVEM method, 91% of the students exhibited reading speeds categorized as slow. Additionally, the reading comprehension level of most was in the low range, with 31% at the literal level. After applying the ILVEM method, there was a decrease in the percentage of students with slow reading speed, dropping to 58%. Significantly, there was also an increase in reading comprehension, particularly in the ability to make high-level inferences, which rose to 38%.
