    This research addresses the issue of reading comprehension and the relationship with academic performance in third-grade elementary students. The purpose is to assess the links that both variables have and to become aware of the importance of reading in academic processes in general. The study was developed in two third-grade groups of a Mexican elementary school, whose ages are between eight, and nine years old, the socioeconomic level is average and the urban context is small, nestled in a rural area. The methodology was developed under a quantitative approach, interviewing and observation helped interpret students' reading levels and types of blunders in it; there was a descriptive variable analysis, as well as the calculation of Spearman correlations and Student ttest for independent samples. The results indicate that comprehension is significantly correlated with academic achievement and that the condition of being male or female is not associated with reading comprehension levels; however, there are coincidences with other investigations that women present slightly higher levels.
