No one has doubted the functionality of reading for the dominion o language itself and to manage information, as well as to acquire dignity and wisdom from a praxis of "thinking for yourself, the full exercise of yourself and the full respect for others”. So to read different texts of Marti’s work and understand it, is a challenge in terms of valuing life, humanist work and esthetics of Jose Marti, paradigm in human importance. This reflects our interest in "Marti's work: Its comprehension in Spanish-Literature classes”. The research is qualitative with correlational level, and it was applied to a group of 7th grade of secondary school by the name of "Martires de la Sierpe"; the sample was selected intentionally, 20 students from 7th grade. The contribution has been to systematize activities that develop skills of textual comprehension and a higher motivation of students to the work of Jose Marti, as well as to promote open dialogue to its appreciation.
