The present research, entitled “Sustained Attention and Reading Comprehension”,
analyzes the relationship between sustained attention and Reading comprehesion amog middle
school students at “Nueva Generación” Educational Unit. The study was conducted under a mixed
methods approach that xombined quantitative and qualitative methods within a non experimental
design. The population consisted of 69 students to whom two standardized instruments were
applied: the Caras-R Test and the Reading Comprehension test of Progressive Linguistic
Complexity (CLP). The Results revealed a predominance of low levels in both variables.
Statistically, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, confoirming the existence of a significant,
though weak, relationship. In conclusión, it was determined that students show difficulties in
maintaining concentration and in achieving deep text comprehension; therefore, it is recommended
to implement programs that promote the development of the cognitive processes involved in
attention and Reading comprehension.
