Abstract

The need for strengthening reading habits to develop literacy competencies in teenage students, with ICT as a mediator, constitutes the backbone for this current paper. The new forms of communication have an important repercussion in teenager’s literacy. The National Program for Learnings Assessment -known in spanish as Plan Nacional para la Evaluación de los Aprendizajes- indicates that highest school students do not know how to use strategies for understanding what they read; as for the Reading Module -know in spanish as Módulo de Lectura- informs that the average reading rate is 3.4 books per year, and barely a quarter of the reading population understand what they read on its entirety. Based on a document review method, the role ICT fulfills in promoting reading habits was analyzed in 25 scientific articles, along with its effect in teaching Language, Literature and Communication. It is inferred that technological incorporation, on its different manifestations, has positive effects in the high school students’ learning process.
