    Introduction: Poor academic results in reading comprehension in primary school are a constant concern in the educational setting of La Guajira, affecting the academic development of students.
    Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of a contextualized digital teaching model on reading comprehension in primary school students.
    Methodology
    : A quantitative experimental design approach was used with a sample of 100 first-grade primary school students from educational institutions in La Guajira. The experimental group learned using a contextualized digital model, while the control group applied traditional classroom learning methods such as lectures and physical teaching guides. The instrument used was a reading test validated by experts.
    Results and discussion: The results showed statistically significant differences between the groups evaluated in all components of reading comprehension, suggesting that the implemented model is appropriate for the age and level of education of the participants.
    Conclusions: The implementation of this type of educational model requires technological infrastructure and adequate teacher training from institutions to optimize this digital learning in the classroom.
