Summary: | The objective of this article is to propose a strategy of contagion of literature as a means for
practical intervention in the literary education of students. We propose aesthetic modeling as a pertinent
strategy to transmit the passion for literature. This proposal is based in the theory of literary contagion,
dialogical pedagogy and general aesthetics. The formulation of this strategy is inspired, on the one hand
by Bandura ́s concept of cognitive modeling, and on the other, by the pedagogical experiences of the
writer Vladimir Nabokov and his successful experience in literary education. Through an analysis of the
classes and testimonies of Nabokov, we offer the concept of “aesthetic modeling”, with its corresponding
didactic procedures, as an alternative didactic strategy for educating the literary sensibility of students
