The objective of this research was to analyze the level of reading comprehension and fluency measurement in university students of Mayan origin. The sample consisted of 30 students, 19 men and 11 women. Of the total, 36.7% is bilingual and 63.3% only speaks Spanish. The average age is 20.53 years. All attend the first semester of university. The level of reading comprehension is measured by a text of 699 words. The linear correlation coefficient was used. A coefficient of r = .862 was obtained between the speed of reading comprehension and fluency. In addition, a correlation coefficient of r = -864 was obtained between reading fluency and reading time. The language of the subjects does not influence the level of comprehension and fluency. Gender influences the level of comprehension, but not fluency.
