Abstract
Reading Comprehension is a critical learning skill for all students (P.Clarke, 2013), as it is “the process of simultaneously extracting and constructing meaning through interaction and involvement with written language” (Reading Study Group, 2002). Understanding words’ meaning, analyze the author’s point of view and aim for writing and gaining knowledge of new words are all very important reading skills that support reading comprehension (Ruiz, 2015). Students need reading comprehension skills to successfully accomplish their educational goals and expectations, which are required in classroom settings. For example, having the ability to understand textual information plays a critical role in helping learners to quickly locate information that is pertinent to the text, exclude information that is irrelevant to the text, and identify the important information to focus on. Academic success also requires students to be able to understand, analyze, and apply information they gathered through their reading (P.Clarke, 2013). The importance of being able to written material increases significantly in all academic areas as students move from one grade to another (P.Clarke, 2013).
