Resumen
This work is part of the project “Determining factors in the reading habits of secondary
school students. A study from the variables of the educational context” (PR2017040), funded by
the Own Research Plan of the University of Cádiz. The main objective is to know the reading
consumption of Spanish teenagers. Specifically, the consumption of analog reading of students of
1st year of Compulsory Secondary Education in Spain is studied. A sample of students from the
province of Cádiz (n=664) and from other Spanish provinces (n=192) responded to a questionnaire
about their reading habits. It allowed, in the first instance, to determine if informants enjoy reading
and, later, to gather information about what and in what format they read, the criteria on which
they are based to choose their readings, how much time they dedicate to read and where they get
their readings. The results indicate that this sector of the population prefers reading adventure
books, chooses books by subject, reads more during holidays and uses their own books. However,
it is confirmed that the development of the reading habit is still a subject to pass.
