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.
