This research was done analyzing and comparing the mandatory performance criteria belonging to the five curricular threads mentioned in the curriculum with each one of the six units included in every single book using a checklist adapted for this purpose. It was used a qualitative approach in order to analyze and interpret the coincidences between the curriculum performance criteria and the contents. A scale from one to five was used to establish the relationship among them giving them a percentage for each amount. The results found in this work were interpreted and represented in charts in order to determine the agreement and relationship between them. The findings showed that the extend of agreement is limited being that the books are not designed taking into account the national curriculum as reference. Moreover, the curriculum does not represent Ecuadorian reality and the contents in the textbooks do not include topics related to our culture and traditions. Finally, this research suggests the design of the performance criteria in the national curriculum per grades of basic education, not in general for the sublevel superior.Item La lectura crítica en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de séptimo año de la Escuela de Educación Básica Macará(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.
