This research assesses the reading comprehension (RC) of higher education students about to graduate. The sample was made up of students from various public universities in the state of Sonora (Mexico). An instrument was designed for the express purpose of determining whether there were differences by student discipline or area of knowledge. The analysis employed the SPSS and NVivo programs. The findings show a need to strengthen reading comprehension, and in particular, demonstrate the significant influence of health sciences, where students exhibited higher levels of RC than those in other areas. Generally, it was found that to improve learning, more consideration should be given to reading practices across all education programs. Leer y escribir son herramientas de trabajo de los profesionales en las comunidades letradas en las que vivimos. Este estudio evalúa el nivel de comprensión lectora (CL) que tienen estudiantes de educación superior próximos a egresar. La muestra fue conformada por alumnos de varias universidades públicas del estado de Sonora en México. Se diseñó un instrumento ex profeso para verificar si existen diferencias según el campo disciplinar o área de conocimiento a la que pertenecen. En el análisis se utilizaron los programas SPSS y Nvivo. Los hallazgos ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de potenciar aún más la comprensión lectora y se destaca como influencia significativa el área de conocimiento, donde los estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud muestran mejores niveles de CL en relación a los jóvenes de otras áreas estudiadas. Se observa la importancia que tiene para ello el conocimiento del lenguaje en las prácticas de lectura. Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
