Resumen:
This experimental study was set to investigate the effect of combined strategy instruction on improving the reading comprehension of narrative texts by 12-14 and 13-15-year –old dyslexic learners of English as a foreign language as well as the comprehension of expository texts by their 14-16 and 15-17 –year old counterparts. In addition, the study looked into the interaction effects of the treatment with combined strategies and the gender of the participants (male versus female) and the school type of the study participants (control versus experimental, using a mixed method factorial design where the variable of the treatment conditions with two levels (control versus experimental) was used as an independent variable, the variables of gender and school were used as moderator variable, and reading comprehension as dependent variable. The combined strategy instruction consists of graphic organizers, visual displays, mnemonic illustrations, computer exercises, predicting, inference, text structure awareness, main idea identification, summarization, and questioning on improving the reading comprehension of narrative texts for students with dyslexia in 12-14 and 13-15-year –old .However, the study combined strategy instruction did not include computer exercise for students with dyslexia in 14-16 and 15-17 –year old ,and the expository texts and not the narrative ones were used in 14-16 and 15-17 –year old. The study findings were reported and discussed in light of previous research and study context as well as implications for classroom instruction and further research.
