Abstract
This study aims at investigating the effect of the Magnet Summary Strategy on the achievement of the second year university students in reading comprehension.The population of this study includes all the second year students of English Department /College of Education for Humanities / Tikrit University for the academic year (2017-2018) . A sample of (30) students has been selected and distributed into two equal groups (experimental and control groups). They have been taught the same English passages for a period of fifteen weeks. The experimental group is taught by using the Magnet Summary Strategy. While the control group is taught by using the traditional method adopted by the instructor .The achievement test has been constructed and applied to the two groups of students, at the end of the experiment. The required data has been collected and treated statistically. Results show the superiority of the experimental group over the control group in their achievement in reading comprehension, which means that the Magnet Summary Strategy is an effective strategy for teaching reading comprehension . Key words: Magnet Summary Strategy, students’ achievement, reading comprehension
