The metalinguistic abilities imply the conscientious reflection upon the different levels from the linguistic system and they are developed during childhood, perfecting itself with the schooling process. The cognitive operation involves necessary processes to perceive, select, process and store information, which are relevant tasks in a complex process like reading.
