Abstract
This paper examines the ability of reading in four groups of subjects by means of inserted unit tests. Two of the groups are formed by young English native speakers with different levels of proficiency, studying Spanish as second language. The other two are formed by Spanish native speakers with different levels of literacy. The obtained results show that Spanish and Anglophone speakers use some reading strategies in a different way in their mother tongues. This fact may point out that the reading process is not identical in both languages. In the Spanish speaking groups the results show a narrow interdependence between the ability of decoding the graphical aspects of the text and the capacity of comprehension. In the readers of Spanish as L2 examined, on the contrary, this interdependence is not appreciated.
