Reading with digital hypertext on the internet requires skill and a lot of focusing. For some readers, the diversity of information available on the network can promote reading-damaging situations such as distraction. Thus, it is important to use tools that can solve this problem. In this article, the research aimed at investigating the perceptions of high school students about the use of the Webquest methodological tool in the development of digital hypertext reading. The theoretical approach relied on the assumptions of cyberspace (LÉVY, 1998); digital gender and hypertext (MARCUSCHI, 1999and 2010; KENSKI, 2008); reading strategies (SOLÉ, 1998); and Webquest (DODGE, 1999 and 2002, BOTTENTUIT JR, 2008 and 2010). This is a qualitative-quantitative research, with an exploratory character, being characterized as a case study. The subjects were 26 students of the Technical Course in Food of IFMA - The Federal Institute of Maranhão, Campus of Zé Doca. Two questionnaires and systematic observation were used to collect the data. The activity consisted in the execution of a Webquest by the students. During the process, we observed the procedures adopted in the development of hypertext reading on the Internet and, at the end, the questionnaire was applied. The results obtained demonstrated that the Webquest methodology is relevant and viable as a teaching tool for the development of hypertext reading, since it adds in its structure a dynamic with practices that foster motivation and arouse the interest in opening the hyperlinks. It also accesses other texts and deepens reading, collaborating for the reader not to distract and leave the text.
