From a hedonistic perspective, reading can bring pleasure to the reader, depending on the attitude he or she adopts toward the text. In the field of education, the teaching of literature should be oriented to the development of aesthetic and reflective attitudes at all educational levels. Therefore, this study aims to implement a pedagogical proposal based on active methodologies to encourage the reading of literary works in first and second year high school students of the Gabriel Arsenio Ullauri School during the school year 2022-2023. The research approach was mixed and the methods used were inductive-deductive, analytical-synthetic and hypothetical-deductive. After the application of the reading plan sessions, it was found that the students’ evaluation of the reading activities in Language and Literature changed from somewhat interesting to very interesting, with the highest rating. In addition, the relationship between the experiences and the texts read gained relevance during the classroom practice. This change is supported by the degree of agreement that the teachers maintained in the two diagnostic processes regarding the incorporation of new methodologies to promote reading. Finally, for future studies in the same line of research, it is recommended to consider the entire population of high school students in order to obtain results from the population sample absent in this article.
