The study attempted to investigate the effect of using comic strips on developing reading comprehension of second year preparatory school students. One hundred-twenty students from AL-Robi preparatory school, Samalout Educational Directorate, Minia governorate were randomly selected. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design as hundred-twenty participants were divided into two groups. The treatment group (n= 60) was taught by using the comic strips strategy (CSS), while the non-treatment group (n=60) was taught following the plan prescribed by the ministry of Education in Egypt. The instrument of study was a reading comprehension test. The instrument was judged by jury members. Analysis of the collected data indicated that most of the comic strips strategy model participants achieved significantly higher levels in reading comprehension skills than those of the non-treatment group. It was concluded that the comic strips strategy helps second year preparatory school students to develop their reading comprehension skills in English as a foreign language.
