Abstract

Based on the reviewed literature, it has been established the non-existence of studies about reading proficiency in the regional context of the North of Chile. So, it was considered necessary to study the reading guidelines and the contribution made by families at the primary level of education. According to this, it was sought to establish the relationship between variables that would allow determining how parenting styles and family practices associated with reading and the children's reading domain are related. The study was placed under the quantitative paradigm. For the information, a descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analysis of the data collected in the research work by Canivilo et al. (2018). So, a sociodemographic survey, the reader proficiency test, was applied from the Arauco Foundation and the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire. The results showed a correlation between reading quality, reading speed and parenting style, in addition to family practices that favor reading ability. From the discussion, it was visible that the authoritarian parenting style and some family reading practices predict the speed and reading quality of the child.
