AB  - The current research project intents to examine to what extent the use of technological tools help students to enhance their reading comprehension skills in English language. This project was implemented with two groups of ninth grade students at a public school in Palmira, Colombia. This is a Quasi Experimental Research with a pretest-posttest design. To obtain the data and be able to compare results in both groups, a pre-test and a post-test were set, as well as a survey about English reading attitudes. To make this research I took into account five different topics, these are: Reading Comprehension, Attitudes toward L2 Reading, the Role of the Teacher in L2 Reading Teaching, reading strategies, and Digital platforms and electronic devices for reading strengthening. The results showed that students from the experimental group improved their performance when answering inferential questions, and had a better attitude and motivation toward the activities, however there was no improvement when answering evaluative questions, and the results in this point were very similar to the control group.
