The participants were divided into two equivalent groups. Both groups were pretested to assure that they were equivalent. The experimental group was taught using CSR while the control one was taught by the traditional method in the first term of the scholastic year 2019-2020. The experiment lasted for six weeks in which the researcher implemented the study tools to investigate the effect of CSR. The results were statistically analyzed by SPSS to be compared with the post-test results. Study Tools: The researcher used 4 instruments to collect data: 1) questionnaire for teachers to determine the most important metacognitive reading skills, 2) a pre/post metacognitive reading skills test, and 3) a metacognitive reading skills rubric to determine the students' metacognitive reading skills performance. The main purpose of the rubric is for scoring the pre-post metacognitive reading skills test. Study Results: The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.01) between the mean scores of the control group and those of the experimental one on the metacognitive reading skills posttest in favor of the experimental group.
