Reading is a process that requires effort on the readers’ parts if they want to
understand what they are reading. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to
understanding the processes that contribute to reading comprehension. As part of that
research, this study was conducted to explore Saudi students’ use of reading strategies
and their effect on students’ reading comprehension. The study employed both
quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain information about Saudi students’
perceived use of reading strategies as well as their comprehension level.
