Reading is one of the essential elements for the exercise of the undergraduate student's occupation. The most common methodologies in undergraduate courses estimate that the student in this schooling level makes use of an individual efficient reading methodology accomplished with the objective of study. The aim of this research study was to diagnose and compare the frequency of reading strategies use, which are considered crucial, when reading is done with the purpose of study. The reading strategies scale, which was translated and adapted by Kopke Filho, was the instrument utilized for the information collection. The data were collected from two groups of registered students: one group in an undergraduate Pedagogy course (n = 10) and the other group in a Master Course on Education (n = 10). In general, the qualitative and quantitative analyses accomplished lead us to conclude that few are the statistically significant differences between the frequency of use of reading strategies by the participants of each group within both groups. The results were analyzed and contrasted with the ones verified in previous studies, as well as having emphasized the fact that teachers, in any teaching level and context, should be attentive to teaching efficient reading methods to their students.
