The Impact of Teaching Fast Reading on Enhancing Students' Fluency and Comprehension in Reading

For learning English, reading has often been at the center of debate among teachers and scholars. Theories about reading and numerous teaching techniques have created an awareness of the influence that reading has on listening, speaking, writing, and even translating. This study aimed to find the effect of fast reading on developing reading comprehension and fluency among high school English students. The sample of the study consists of 60 students assigned into two groups who were chosen randomly from high schools. The study includes teaching fast reading to 30 students (experimental group) and keeping 30 other students learning traditionally (control group). The results revealed significant differences in increasing fluency and comprehension among these students. In light of the results, it is recommended that teachers should train students extensively on the use of fast reading strategies.
