Abstract
This paper analyses learning strategies and reading comprehension control with academic achievement in the subjects of Language and Mathematics in 118 students from Secondary Education in Madrid. The results showed significative differences between skilled reader / non skilled reader groups. In fact, in skilled reader group prevail emotional control (F = 8.52, p = .004), selection of relevant information (F = 12.17, p = .001), critical and creative thinking (F = 6.06, p =.015), recovery of learnt information (F = 5.55, p = .014) and planification and evaluation for results as a part of metacognitive processes. Finally, reading comprehension control could explain partially academic performance in these subjects and so it could be a predictor variable.
