Likewise, the main contributions and exertions in terms of analysis for the curriculum by the SEP in Mexico are highlighted. Currently, understanding a text in English for students at the secondary education level represents a permanent challenge due to the current condition that exists regarding the English language as a global language. The problems of reading competence and its development demonstrate the need for attention and proposals for solutions to the challenges which represents achieving the development of reading competence in English for the secondary level. This research hopes to provide background and conditional expectations in the matter of achieving the reading competence, with the purpose that others researchers, foreign language teachers and interested in the topic may reach for more and better results in its practice.
