Abstract:

The successful progress of educational activities, the effective use of cognitive skills, and fulfilling the tasks in social life smoothly depends on the acquisition of reading skills. Repeated reading is one of the methods discussed in the literature to improve reading success. However, it is still unclear how effective this method is on reading skills. To help eliminate the ambiguity in the literature, this study examined the effect of repeated reading on reading success, reading rate, and comprehension level using 50 data obtained from 25 studies. Using subgroup analyses, the study also determined whether the effect of repeated reading practices on reading success changed by class group, language type, practice and repetition time, and type of research. The results of the research showed that repeated reading practices had a significant effect on reading success and that this effect did not change by class group, language type, and research type.
