Difficulties in the acquisition of the reading process. This paper tac
kles the learning problems of reading starting from the visual habilit
ies which are the basis of control and recognition of written informat
ion. As the processes of recognition are completed with those of compr
ehension, we introduce strategies for their training from a lexical po
int of view and from structural strategies of content, this last aspec
t incorporates a set of basic norms for their realization. Finally, we
mention that this theoretical framework of diagnosis and intervention
is in process of investigation with a representative group of subject
s through wich we try to confirm our hypothesis.
