The research instruments used in this study included three lesson plans of KWDL technique, three lesson plans with conventional instruction and a literature reading comprehension test, which was used as a pre-test and a post-test. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, a t-test for the independent sample and a t-test dependent sample.
          The results of this study revealed the following: 1) There was a significant difference between the pre and post experimental stages in reading comprehension ability of an experimental group at a level of .05. 2) There was a significant difference in reading comprehension ability between the experimental group and the control groups at a level of .05.
