Gamification allows the student to acquire the skills necessary to understand, express and appropriately regulate emotional appearance and increase motivation. The objective of the research is to develop a didactic strategy based on gamification for reading and writing in first grade students of the Jaime Roldós Aguilera Educational Unit. A quantitative approach is proposed, with an experimental, correlation and longitudinal type. The starting point is a theoretical review of the experiences and theories developed for gamification and a diagnosis with the application of a checklist based on the criteria set forth by Ricardo Olea's reading and writing test to a population of 37 students. The validation of the instrument is carried out with the application of Cronbach's Alpha and R square tests (SPSS V25 software) with results of 0.909 and 1.00 respectively. The list is applied before and after the strategy, the first as a diagnosis, the second as an evaluation. The correlation test applied by the Pearson Coefficient allowed us to verify the relationship between the learning results for reading and writing with respect to the variables to be considered in the strategy. The relevant positive results in the application of the strategy are demonstrated by the comparison of the selected variables with a significant difference between the mean values, verified with the ANOVA test, significance level equal to 0.0018 <0.05, so the Gamification contributed to improving literacy levels.
