The first part of the thesis corresponds to the theoretical framework that includes reading comprehension and reading competence, psycholinguistic models and different levels of reading comprehension, types of text, reading comprehension strategies, and the existing of instructional programs. The second part includes an experimental study in which two instructional programs are applied to three different samples. Data collection was carried out through tests based on Barret's (1967) taxonomy, which include literal, inferential, critical, and appreciation questions, in addition to the fulfilment of three opinion surveys about reading comprehension. When students use cognitive and metacognitive strategies when reading by means of both instructional programs, excellent reading comprehension results are achieved, being the SOAR technique the most highly valued by two groups of students. Research confirms that in comprehension tasks, the use of reading strategies is important for achieving better academic results.
