Abstract: Reading is not only one of the most important skills in language learning, but also one of the main objectives of learning English in general. Many factors such as students’ background knowledge, motivation, interest, organization of the texts and study skills may affect reading skill. This paper describes an experimental study to identify the effect of the significance of speed reading on comprehension. The results indicate that there are significant gains as a result of the experiment. Reading became faster, scientific and systematic.
