“…It is a field of study that has gained relevance in recent years, mainly in specialized journals where quantitative, qualitative, methodological and/or comparatively diverse aspects related to reading competence are analyzed. Of particular note is a study by Coiro and Dobler (2007) that analyzes the impact of new technologies on reading habits, and research on types of cognitive skills for reading efficiency (Eason et al, 2012), reading motivation (Pitcher et al, 2007;Petscher, 2010), and the relationships between motivation to read and reading comprehension (Orellana et al, 2020;Stutz et al, 2016). These works are complemented by a comparison between the countries and sex of students and vehicular languages, in which these aspects were linked to students' socioeconomic status (Säälik, 2015), and other research focusing on gender differences in the reading processes of pre-adolescents (Logan & Johnston, 2009McGeown et al, 2012), which have been a constant focus of interest in our work.…”
