| description | The information age has raised several challenges for education, but it has also presented opportunities for improving teaching practices. This article aims to review and analyze the progress made in research in English and Spanish from 2015 to 2020, regarding the use of digital texts for reading comprehension in elementary school. I use a mixed approach and a documentary methodology to carry out the systematic literature review of articles published in databases recognized between 2015 and 2020. The documentary corpus of 50 articles was organized in thematic fact sheets according to pre—established categories and statistical trends in the bibliographic production. The results show trends regarding the country, participants, method, types of digital text and technologies used, and coincidences or discordances of the results obtained in the understanding and aspects of reading. It is concluded that digital texts increase the motivation towards reading, facilitate reading comprehension and promote collaborative learning, however, in some cases, the results are limited or do not differ from physical texts. |

La era de la información ha planteado diversos retos para la educación, pero también ha presentado oportunidades para mejorar las prácticas de enseñanza. Este artículo se propone revisar y analizar los avances obtenidos en las investigaciones en inglés y español de los años 2015 a 2020, respecto a la utilización de textos digitales para la comprensión lectora en educación primaria. Se utiliza un enfoque mixto y una metodología documental, para realizar una revisión sistemática de literatura artículos publicados en bases de datos reconocidas entre los años 2015 y 2020. Se organizó el corpus documental de 50 artículos en fichas temáticas según categorías preestablecidas y tendencias estadísticas de la producción bibliográfica. Los resultados muestran tendencias respecto al país, participantes, método, tipos de texto digital y tecnologías utilizadas, y coincidencias o discordancias de los resultados obtenidos en la comprensión y aspectos de la lectura. Se concluye que los textos digitales aumentan la motivación hacia la lectura, facilitan la comprensión lectora y promueven el aprendizaje colaborativo, no obstante, en algunos casos los resultados son limitados o no difieren de los textos físicos.
