Izvleček:The purpose of Story mapping is to improve the reading comprehension of language learners by visualizing and understanding various narrative elements. Thus, this study aimed to enhance reading comprehension among ninth-grade students of a public institution in Loja during the 2022-2023 academic period by employing the "Story mapping" strategy. The research was conducted with a convenience sample of 27 students of a public institution in Loja. Reading comprehension is considered, a crucial receptive skill, that allows students to acquire and interpret information from written texts. The research design employed practical action research and a mixed-method approach, utilizing quantitative data (students' grades) obtained from a pretest and a posttest, and qualitative data (students' perceptions) gathered through a questionnaire, complemented by field notes. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in the students' reading levels after implementing the "story mapping" strategy. The findings indicate that Story mapping substantially impacted students, enhancing their reading comprehension and proficiency in reading aloud and summarizing important ideas. Additionally, the story mapping strategy proved valuable in teaching vocabulary, aiding students in distinguishing words with similar pronunciation. Key Words: reading comprehension, mixed-method, narrative elements, teaching strategies, reading levels, summarize ideas.
