This research analyzes the strategic relationship between reading and digital technologies in contemporary education, based on the tension between the digital culture that characterizes students and the permanence of traditional pedagogical practices that incorporate ICT in an instrumental and superficial way. The main objective was to explore how the strategic relationship of digital technologies affects the development of reading comprehension and the transformation of classroom practices, identifying difficulties in reading, current theoretical references and forms of teacher integration. A mixed sequential explanatory approach was used, with a non-experimental descriptive-interpretive and correlational design. The sample was made up of 60 basic education students, 6 teachers and 2 directors, selected intentionally. Surveys, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis were applied. The analysis combined qualitative coding (open and axial) with descriptive and correlational statistics. The results showed that 75% of students achieved high levels of reading comprehension when ICT was integrated through planned didactic sequences, compared to 35% in situations of limited use. In addition, 67% of teachers use technologies for predominantly instrumental purposes. It was concluded that improving reading does not depend only on the incorporation of technology in isolation, but on integrating it critically through coherent didactic sequences, proposing an integrative model of reading - ICT - critical mediation to strengthen new classroom practices.
