The article presents a comparative study of reading comprehension skills in students aged 12–13 years. The perception of text on paper and on electronic media is monitored. The experiment was performed under four experimental conditions – reading on paper (the time is not limited), reading on electronic text (the time is not limited), reading on electronic media with fast and slow slide exposition (the time is limited). In the first experimental condition a gaze tracking system (Eye Tracking) was used to trace the mechanism of text perception. In each of the experimental conditions the reading comprehension is monitored with a comprehension questionnaire. The results of the experiment show that when reading text up to one page there is no difference in the levels of reading comprehension on paper and on electronic text. Some features of the participants’ reading style were also traced, describing similar experiments conducted using a gaze tracking system.
