This research focuses on analyzing critical reading comprehension skills in middle school students in the municipality of Nilo in Cundinamarca, since critical reading requires a deeper process than simply decoding words, i.e., techniques and methods must be taken into account to develop analytical and evaluative skills. Therefore, the critical level allows students not only to understand the content of the text, but also to question, reflect and evaluate the information presented, important aspects in an environment rich in data and opinions.  Now, the research method is analytical and empirical in nature, combining the review of existing literature and the realization of a didactic sequence based on argumentative texts. Therefore, the first step is to identify and analyze the current teaching methods used by Nile language teachers, in order to evaluate their effectiveness in developing the critical level, because the observation and survey methods will provide a clear picture of the existing processes in the students. In this sense, the relevance of this research lies in its potential to transform the teaching of critical reading, identifying the factors that influence the educational process, developing teaching strategies appropriate to the context of the learners.  However, this intervention not only aims to increase the level of comprehension, but also aspires to become  a model that can be replicated in other educational institutions, both nationally and internationally.
