The study revealed the following results: The lack of significant differences between school groups attributed to the gender of the students variable differences, and the presence of statistically significant differences between the experimental school groups and control group in favor of the experimental group that studied the meta-cognitive strategy to improve reading comprehension among basic ninth grade in the North East Badia.
