To develop students' reading competence implies exploring what they know to do with language while facing the process of reading. Text comprehension involves the use of different strategies to become competent readers. This process presupposes questioning the text and anticipating possible interpretations. This paper aims at devising a teaching distinguishing before, during and after reading activities to overcome students' shortcomings in text comprehension. The research was carried out by systematizing experiences, focusing on teaching practice and observation. The main finding is the devised strategy.

Keywords : textual comprehension; strategies; reading abilities; reading instructions.
