Abstract
This article explores the importance of effective strategies in developing students’ reading skills. It focuses on cognitive and metacognitive approaches, highlighting strategies such as predicting, questioning, visualizing, and summarizing to improve text comprehension. The role of the teacher, individualized instruction, and consistent practice are also discussed. The findings indicate that the systematic use of these strategies enhances both reading speed and comprehension.
