Information and communication technologies have transformed reading practices. Reading on digital media is a conjunction of diversified and complex processes, wich imply a plural approach, such as that proposed from the perspective of literacy. Framed in sociocultural theories, literacy conceives reading as a social practice, historically and culturally situated. A qualitative research, based on Ideological Model of Literacy from Street (1984, 1993, 2008) and Cassany (1990, 2006, 2011, 2012), was carried out in order to identify, describe and analyze the reading processes, which realized specifically in electronics devices. The results identify the visual, technical, strategic and cognitive abilities that converge in it, as well as the different levels and dimensions of reading that emerge with the use of digital devices. Digital reading is considered as an enriching practice that involves affective and social skills, and can go beyond reading on printed media. Pathways for reading training are visualized from the literacy perspective, applicable both in the field of reading promotion and in higher education.
