This paper discusses the impacts of hypertextuality on reading development within the context of the network society, emphasizing the mismatch between young people’s digital practices and traditional school-based pedagogical models. The central objective is to analyze the implications of hypertextuality for contemporary reading formation. This is a qualitative study, bibliographic and documentary in nature, grounded in dialogical, rhizomatic, and critical approaches. The results indicate that schools marginalize digital symbolic repertoires, perpetuate an epistemicide by disregarding hypertextual practices as legitimate, and that statistical indicators often conceal structural inequalities in literacy. It is concluded that hypertextuality demands a radical restructuring of pedagogy, transforming the school into a space of semiotic experimentation capable of shaping reader-architects who can navigate and construct meaning within complex ecosystems.
