Students' Portuguese and Mathematics grades were obtained in their school records. Results evidenced associations between reading comprehension and schooling performance. Students who presented better reading comprehension scores were those who presented satisfactory performance in both subjects. Data are discussed considering positive implications reading comprehension can have on learning several academic contents.Downloads
