    El propósito de la revisión de la literatura actual es poner de relieve las diferencias y similitudes en procesos fundamentales de lectura según el idioma del alumno. Se presta especial atención a los contrastes entre el idioma Inglés que es relativamente opaco y otros idiomas que son mas transparentes, con un enfoque específico en el español. El Análisis de la literatura indica un desarrollo más pronunciado curvar en idiomas como el español, aunque los procesos son similares. Resultados ponen de relieve la forma en el que una lengua materna más opaca podría informar el aprendizaje de un Segundo y más transparente idioma.

    The purpose of the present literature review is to highlight differences and similarities in fundamental reading processes depending upon the language of the learner. Specific attention is paid to contrasts between the relatively opaque English language and more transparent languages, with a specific focus on Spanish. Analysis of the literature indicates a steeper developmental curve in languages such as Spanish, although processes are similar. Findings highlight the way in which a more opaque native language could inform learning of a second, more transparent language.
