| This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of retelling strategy in enhancing
reading comprehension. The study intended to find out if the use of Retelling Strategy can bring
about improvement in the post-test scores after treatment as compared to the pre-test scores. The
two-group pre-test post-test experimental design was adopted in this study in order to discover the
effectiveness of Retelling Strategy in improving reading comprehension. Sixty four Form Three
students of a National Secondary school served as samples in this study. Data in the form of scores
from the pre-test and post-test were collected to be analyzed. A comparison of mean scores between
the pre-test and post-test for both the experimental and control group showed an increment but the
experimental group showed that the students have improved their test scores slightly higher after
they were subjected to treatments using Retelling Strategy as compared to test scores before
treatment. In addition, results from T-test conducted indicated that there had been a significant
improvement in reading comprehension for both the experimental
and control group but the improvement for the experimental group were higher compared
to the control group. It was concluded that the Retelling strategy was effective in
improving reading comprehension. Lastly, analysis of the questionnaire responses showed that
students preferred and had positive perception of the Retelling Strategy. They also indicated that
they were very motivated and had enjoyed English lessons using Retelling Strategy.
