This study aimed to analyze the relation of working memory and the performance of reading isolated words. Thirty children of both sexes, ranging from 9 to 12 years old, participated in the study. Data collection instruments were used as: digit span and the test of reading words and isolated pseudowords (LPI). A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out: measurement of means, standard deviations. The level of significance adopted for the analyzes was p> 0.05.The correlations were made from Spearman (Rhô). It was verified that there is a strong correlation (r = 0.614) between the working memory and the reading of isolated words. It concludes with the results of this research that the higher the performance in working memory the better the performance in reading isolated words.
