The research method is quantitative-descriptive. A virtual reading test was applied to measure the respective phases (anticipation, execution and selfreflection) and the level of learning in reading comprehension, and then a survey on self-regulated learning with its respective study dimensions was applied to 154 students of the sixth grade of primary education. As a result, the instrument for measuring self-regulated learning is optimal for the Peruvian context, with a reliability of 0.9360 Cronbach's alpha and other statistics with acceptable values. It is concluded that self-regulated learning with face-to-face and virtual readings significantly helps students to develop their reading comprehension skills.
