The aim of this research is to apply a specific accelerated reading training with the repeated reading method to high school students with reading difficulties and to evaluate the impact of this training on reading. The study was carried out with two high school students of the fifth class in Izmir or Bergama. First, from 279 students, 14 students with reading difficulties were identified as a result of tests and evaluations. The statistical method is confirmed that the level of reading of the 14 identified students is the same. Seven of these students were given a special accelerated reading training of a total of 30 hours, each working day, for six weeks, while the other seven students were not given this special training. At the end of the six weeks, the students who received education were compared before and after the study and the read rate of each student was statistically significantly increased. Compared and obtained results showed that the reading rates of students who received and did not receive education were statistically significantly higher than the other group of students. Students’ pre- and postgraduate vocal reading levels were also compared and observed that all students’ reading levels rose to a top level.
