This paper arises from the need to contribute to reading comprehension skills and promote reading in secondary education, after identifying shortcomings in reading comprehension in eleventh grade students. Therefore, it is intended to establish how the promotion of reading of classical literature contributes to the comprehension capacity of the eleventh grade student (11), through stage oral narration. The methodology is qualitative with a dialectical-critical approach that seeks to understand and interpret the reality of the educational community from a holistic perspective, since thought processes allow an approach and a cognitive appropriation of reality. Reason why, a didactic sequence is proposed, so that the students approach the reading of the classic literature and enrich the reading comprehension capacity by means of strategies of the NOE.
