This document shows the reflexion made out of the research which at first has sought to comprehend how students value their reading skills in high school. The results were obtained using descriptive type methodology starting from the case study. Through the development of this academic article, different answers can be observed pointing at the perceptions students have towards their reading skills and the tools they have for its development as well as identifying which elements will require more support. Given this, the current problematic emerges from the concern that arises in respect to the lack of interest in reading. This research is being done in the municipality of Armenia (Quindío), grounded on the Spanish teaching problematic which has to be study and resolved and mainly to have a close approach to the reading actuality through the knowledge of those particular issues which will allow us to understand what does it take to be a competent reader in class. To achieve the given objectives, it was necessary to adapt and apply an instrument to allow us observe and value student's perceptions towards reading skills. What can be highlighted from this questionnaire is its qualitative approach which seems little or none like the standardized measurement current tests since subjectivity and arguments given by the polled, show results important to be analized and put into practice.
