The data was analyzed by applying weighted Mean, standard deviation, person correlation and Cronbach's Alpha, Independent, paired sample T-Test and ETA square Then, the result was revealed that:
There are statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the averages of the scores of the experimental and the control groups when considering the post-test in the overall degree of reading comprehension skills, in favor of the experimental group.
There are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the ordinal's averages of the experimental group grades in pre and post-test of the total level of reading comprehension skills, in favor of the post-test, in ETA square factor )0,53).
