Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The PROLEC is an instrument that is distinguished from many others because it is not only aimed at evaluating the performance of students and thus establishing a certain level, but its greatest wealth lies in it, which seeks to investigate the different processes that intervene in the reading, contributing to the identification of the more defined aspects that could be altered, and then propose specific actions that help to overcome these difficulties.METHODS: This research is a quantitative, descriptive study, where the PROLEC test was applied in 35 fourth-grade primary school students from the Guaimaral technical institute in Cúcuta Norte de Santander. RESULTS: It is evident that 86 % corresponding to 19 of the boys presented difficulty in the final result of the test, while 65 % corresponding to 16 evaluated girls presented difficulty in the development of said test.ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION: From the first perspective, the differences in performance in learning to read would have their origin in innate characteristics of men and women, pointing to various elements such as the composition of their brains and the abilities that turn out to be more frequent in each sex, being this a relevant factor in the cause of reading disorders. CONCLUSIONS: There are various types of disorders and difficulties that affect the normotypic development of reading, which can appear at any time in life, from childhood to adulthood. For this reason, the importance of detecting each of these difficulties in time, since with the opportune diagnosis the way is opened for an efficient learning rehabilitation process.
