This article presents the results obtained from qualitative research whose main objective was to analyze the curriculum of secondary education in language in Mexico and the teaching practices based on their relationship with the teaching of critical literacy. In response to this, through the method of content analysis, categories on critical literacy were designed and used, focused on the analysis of the Study Plan of the Spanish subject at the secondary level and the Program of the Spanish subject in the third year of secondary; thus, also in this educational level and subject, the didactic strategies reported by nine teachers were analyzed. The findings obtained show an inclination of the functional approach to literacy in the curricular document. Regarding didactic strategies, comparatively more evidence of critical literacy elements was obtained, however, these present a limited development. It is concluded that the integration of the perspective of critical literacy to teaching is pertinent, as well as that it represents a fertile field for research on reading and writing at the basic levels of education in Mexico.
