Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of peritextual reading on primary school students' reading comprehension skills. The quantitative research method was used in the study. The research design was designed as a quasi-experimental study. Research data were obtained by the random sampling method. The study group of the research consists of 102 fourth-grade students studying in 2 different state schools in Turkey. The data obtained from the research were analyzed using the SPSS 22 program. Before starting the analysis of the data, normality tests were performed. Man-Whitney U Test and Independent Sample t-Test were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analyses, the posttest mean scores of the experimental group students were higher than the posttest mean scores of the control group students. As a result, peritextual reading proves to be effective in improving students' reading comprehension skills.
