The Effect of Web-Supported Accurate and Fast Reading Development Program on The Reading Skills of Primary School Students

The main purpose of this research is to examine the effect of the Web-Supported Accurate and Speed Reading Development Program (ASRDP), developed by the researchers. For this purpose, "Experimental Model with Pretest-Posttest Control Group"? was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of 2nd grade students (n=40) studying at Ataturk Primary School in the Caldiran district of Van province in the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. Experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups were chosen within the scope of the research. ASRDP, developed with Web-supported content developed by the researchers, was applied to the experimental group along with the activities in the Turkish curriculum. The prepared program was implemented for 6 weeks, with 5 lesson hours per week. The program prepared within the scope of the research was supported by a website (rumeysahoca.com). The data of the study were collected through reading speed measurements, correct reading level measurements and "Reading Skills Scale". While collecting the data, two different types of texts were prepared as informative and narrative texts. The t-test was conducted to determine whether there was a difference between pre and post-tests. As a result of the research, a significant difference was found between the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental group. In this respect, it is seen that the ASRDP has a positive effect on reading skills. The prepared site has been designed as a platform suitable for the use of students in this age group and open to development. In future studies, the effect of the on skills can be tested at different levels.
