摘要:This article presents a reference framework on promoting reading in Mexico, justifying the independent actions that may contribute to the establishment of initiatives beyond the school and institutional spheres. After reviewing the background scholarship and examining a series of theoretical and methodological guidelines, we describe an intervention that consisted of a circle of adolescents between 13 and 16 years of age, in the municipality of Coscomatepec de Bravo, in the central area of the State of Veracruz, Mexico. This circle was developed during 12 sessions in an extracurricular space.The methods of evaluating the strategy are discussed.We describe the evaluation methods of the intervention, and relate the diagnostic survey of reading habits from the beginning of the study, to the results from the activities performed. This has been a satisfactory experience that has already gained traction among the young people of this municipality.
