Abstract

The quasi-experimental approach was used on a sample of (80) female students divided into two equivalent groups. The experimental group included (44) female students, while the control one included (36) female students. The tools of data collection were a checklist of reading comprehension skills and a reading comprehension test. To analyze the collected data, a t-test was conducted. Furthermore, to examine the effectiveness of the DRTA strategy in developing reading comprehension skills, the effect size was measured. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences at (a0.05 ≥ ( in the mean scores of the reading comprehension skills in favor of the experimental group. In light of these results, the researcher recommended that English teachers use the DRTA strategy to develop reading comprehension skills for students.
