This research project focuses on the implementation of the Summary Strategy as a means to increase reading comprehension levels in undergraduate Contract Law students. The strategy was applied to 27 students, 5 men and 22 women, in the academic period between August and December 2014 at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra, Santiago campus. The implementation consisted of a four-step process: (1) diagnostic phase; (2) socialization with pedagogical interventions; (3) student practices; and (4) a summary as part of the students’ final exam. The scoring guide used to evaluate student results indicates a positive relationship between the use of the Summary Strategy and students’ reading comprehension levels.
