Abstract
The current study was an attempt to overcome the shortcomings in teaching reading comprehension skills . Besides , it emphasized the importance of providing EFL third year college students with the reading system SQ3R to improve their reading , as it helped students understand how to plan , monitor and evaluate their learning .
The present study adopted the one group pre/post test design . A group of 80 third year college students were randomly selected EFL department from Zagazig Faculty of Specific Education, to be the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received training throughout a proposed program for developing reading comprehension skills A pre/post test was given to the experimental and control groups before and after the implementation.
Based on these skills , a pre post / test was developed and used . The proposed program was developed in the light of the SQ3R reading system . The program was taught over a period of two months ( two periods per week )
The study showed that :
There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of experimental group in their performance in reading comprehensions of the pre and post application of the reading comprehension test as a whole and its subskills favoring the post application .
There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of experimental group and control group in their performance of the post application of the reading comprehension test as a whole and its subskills favoring the experimental group .
The SQ3R reading system was effective in developing reading comprehension skills .
It was concluded that the proposed program proved to be effective in developing the necessary reading comprehension skills among the experimental group students. A set of recommendations were presented together with suggestions for further research.
