Finally, we described the overall results and conclusions were established for the research work.

On the other hand, the specific objectives were: to expose the strengths and weaknesses presented in the reading comprehension process digital text by the fifth grade students, present and evaluate the reading comprehension process carried out on students during your experience with reading digital books, to determine whether the reading of digital text favored or not the process of reading comprehension in fifth grade students Thomas Carrasquilla school, establish the issues presented during the student interaction with Hypertext and analyze how influenced the reading comprehension processes linking nonlinear elements present in hypertext.
