The article is the final result of the master's thesis in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language at the Universidad de Oriente, Cuba. It presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of the inference strategy within the process of reading comprehension in this area of knowledge. The methodology used is the literature review with a qualitative and exploratory approach (HERNÁNDEZ; FERNÁNDEZ; BAPTISTA, 2014). The results indicate the importance of the inference strategy as an essential tool for the interpretation of different types of texts in foreign languages, specifically Spanish. In this order, a set of inferential activities is proposed as an example and it is concluded that the design of a didactic sequence with emphasis on the treatment of the inference strategy contributes to the improvement of the reading comprehension process for a B1 language level in Spanish as a Foreign Language.

Keywords : Reading comprehension; Spanish as a Foreign Language; Inference strategy; Didactic sequence.
