Addressing a literary text in the first levels of education while making that one be liked by students, is a primary task that teachers face today when mediating the reading process; even more so if that reading is a world literature novel normally present in syllab uses of the third level and high school, which could eventually become an obstacle in the promotion of reading. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to encourage the reading of literary texts (aesthetically and after evaluating them) aimed at children and young people, thus proposing to read to live an experience, assuming it as education. From this perspective, reading literary texts is a process whose principle and purpose is to attribute a meaning to written language, valuing this process as a world where the author, using rhetorical figures manages to exalt the language. This paper was carried out through a documentary investigation, and the theoretical principles of Jorge Larrosa and Griselda Navas among others were used. These notions allow to mediate the processes in the education of new readers, focusing the experience as fundamental between reader and work, and placing the student in a real and familiar time from their own circumstances.
