Language ability and critical thinking are fundamental bases for people's educational, social, and labor development from their first educational years. To this end, an inductive-deductive, analytical, and quasi-experimental study was carried out, where it was possible to implement information collection techniques such as the survey to determine that teachers use teaching methods focused on establishing reading habits and reading comprehension among all educational levels. Finally, it can be concluded that young students have an average level of language ability, which is influenced by the context in which they develop in additionto the academic contributions offered by the educational unit.
