article aims to analyze the role of reading for pleasure as a pedagogical strategy to strengthen language skills in high school students. Based on a theoretical review and a concrete didactic and reflective proposal, it is argued that reading for pleasure—as a free, meaningful, and emotionally enjoyable practice—enables the development of essential skills such as comprehension, written production, oral expression, vocabulary management, critical thinking, and creativity in students, promoting more autonomous and meaningful learning. The text incorporates theoretical contributions from authors such as Krashen (2004), Rosenblatt (1995), and Cassany (2006), who emphasize the role of reading enjoyment in language acquisition and in the formation of competent and critical individuals. Pedagogical strategies are proposed to encourage reading habits from school, combining the pleasure of reading with curriculum demands and teacher mediation. Finally, results derived from a documentary review are presented, supporting the relevance of this strategy for the comprehensive development of young people.
