This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of using reciprocal  teaching model on improving EFL reading comprehension skills among 2^nd year secondary school students. For this purpose, two complete groups were chosen at random and assigned to an experimental group and a control one, thirty students in each group, from Bloom Secondary school in Cairo  , during the second term 2022-2023. The study's methodology was a quasi-experiment. The researcher prepared EFL reading comprehension skills and a pre/post reading test . Students in both groups were pre-tested using the EFL reading test. After that, the researcher used the reciprocal  teaching   model for teaching the experimental group, while the control group used the traditional method. Finally, the same EFL reading a test was post-tested on both groups. The research's findings showed that in the post-test of the EFL reading comprehension test, the experimental group outperformed the control group. As a result, the reciprocal  teaching   model was successful in improving the reading comprehension of 2^nd -year secondary school students.
