|Title||The Effectiveness of Assisted Extensive Reading on Developing Reading Comprehension Strategies for Ninth Graders in Gaza Governorate|
The present paper investigated the effectiveness of the Assisted Extensive Reading Program on developing reading comprehension strategies, namely; skimming, scanning, guessing meaning of words in context and inference of ninth graders in Gaza governorate. The study examined the improvement shown by the experimental group1 who received reading comprehension strategy training only, and group2 who received strategy training integrated with 9 week extensive reading program and the control group who received no treatment. An achievement, pre and post test were administrated and a statistical analysis was conducted to collect data. Comparing the results of the pre-post tests, it was concluded that the Assisted Extensive Reading Program proved to be the most efficient in developing reading comprehension strategies. Strategy training alone was useful but the rate of the progress was not significant. On the other hand the traditional method was ineffective in that students made very little progress on all levels. Comparing the scores achieved by the three groups at each of the four strategies, it was found that group2 who received both strategy training and extensive reading program was always superior to the other two groups, and group1 who received strategy training only achieved some progress but it wasn't significant when compared to the scores of the control group.
