Abstract
This theoretical and methodological study discusses the relationship between prosody and reading comprehension from two different approaches: 1) the different methodological resources adopted to investigate this complex relationship; 2) the existing controversy on how this relationship is configured. Reflections such as these allow for an in-depth knowledge on the characteristics of the different methodological resources used to study a given phenomenon and to clarify controversies in certain fields of knowledge, such as the prosody-reading comprehension relationship, a topic still open to different interpretations. The discussions presented here are based on research carried out with elementary school children.
