This research aimed at using REAP strategy to enhance EFL reading comprehension skills and critical thinking disposition of first year secondary school students. Sixty-three (63) first-year secondary school students from Abu Bakr Al Siddik Secondary Combined School, New Damietta, Damietta, Egypt participated in the study. The research's design was quasi-experimental. Hence, a control group (n= 30) and an experimental group (n= 33) were both present. A critical thinking disposition scale, an EFL reading comprehension skills exam, and a checklist of EFL reading comprehension skills were used to collect the data. The research's findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental group's mean scores and those of the control group for first-year secondary school students' EFL reading comprehension skills and critical thinking disposition. Utilizing REAP was proven to have a large impact. According to the research, training EFL students reading comprehension skills using the REAP strategy will help them better understand the content.
