Admission to higher education poses challenges for students that they must face in relation not only to the demands to which they will be exposed, to be inserted into a specific disciplinary community, but also in terms of the use of reading and writing to be able to develop academically. For this, it is necessary to highlight the role played by the teacher in this process. In this article, specific guidelines are presented in terms of defining what it means to assume this challenge in the classroom proposals, for which the visions of various researchers in relation to the subject in question are considered. In addition, an interrelation between digital, academic and information literacy is established, realizing, from a perspective that recognizes continuities and changes in academic culture, how these aspects are inseparable today. The above implies then that the role of the teacher in the first years of higher education is vital to achieve academic literacy.
