Some suggestions are then presented for the improvement of the teaching and learning English especially for the teaching of reading comprehension strategies.For the English teacher first they should add some more activities in pre reading stage. This is based on the consideration that activities in pre reading stage are very important in helping the readers to engage with the text. Second they should teach or train their students how to read effectively. One way among others is by giving a model how to use the reading comprehension strategy. Considering the limitation of the study in terms of subjects of the study and the short time of data collection it is suggested for the other similar researchers to conduct researches in broader subjects of the research at different levels and more time in data collection. It is also suggested to conduct classroom action research on the teaching of reading comprehension strategies.
