Introduction: This study evaluated the impact of gamification strategies on reading motivation among third-year students of General Basic Education at Modesto A. Peñaherrera School. Given the problem of low reading interest, methodologies based on role-playing, creative storytelling, dramatization, and digital resources were implemented. Materials and Methods: Using a mixed-method approach and sequential design, the study involved a sample of 25 students and was validated by eight specialists. Results: The results reflected an 85% increase in the frequency of voluntary reading and an 87% increase in participation in school activities, confirming the relevance of the strategy. Discussion: However, challenges were identified in the availability of materials and technological integration. Conclusions: The research confirms that gamification improves reading motivation and comprehension, aligning with theories on reading engagement and self-determination. It is recommended to expand the sample and strengthen teacher training to optimize its application in diverse educational contexts.
