All people have a very important faculty that allows them to know and understand everything that surrounds them, it is the ability to read comprehension. The use and comprehension of texts for different purposes is a common activity that humans develop. It is common to read to learn, acquire new knowledge, investigate a topic of interest and have greater clarity about the comprehension of texts at any of its levels (literal, inferential, criteria). It is extremely necessary to apply adequate feedback to improve this faculty. The main objective of the research was to recognize what is known about formative feedback and reading comprehension and what aspects remain to be known. Methodologically, the research was exploratory, descriptive, for which the historical method is used and scientific articles, formative feedback references and reading comprehension are selected. The search for articles was carried out through different search engines such as Google Scholar, Scopus and Pub-med. Finally, 28 scientific articles from 2017 were selected. The results of the research conclude that adequate feedback is key to reading comprehension at any of its levels.

Todas las personas tienen una facultad muy importante que les hace posible conocer y comprender todo que les rodea, es la capacidad de comprensión lectora. El uso y comprensión de textos con finalidades diferentes es una actividad común que desarrollamos los seres humanos. Es habitual leer para estar informados, para adquirir conocimientos nuevos, para investigar sobre un tema de interés, etc.; para tener mayor claridad sobre la comprensión de los textos en cualquiera de sus niveles (literal, inferencial, criterial), es sumamente necesaria aplicar una retroalimentación adecuada para mejorar esta facultad. Se efectuó la búsqueda de artículos indexados a través de diferentes buscadores tales como: Google Académico, Scopus, Pubmed; se seleccionó finalmente 28 artículos científicos a partir del año 2017. La conclusión principal es que una retroalimentación adecuada es clave para la comprensión lectora en cualquiera de sus niveles.
