This research aims to identify the impact of the reciprocal reading strategy on developing the innovative reading skills of fifth-grade secondary school students/ scientific branch. To achieve the goal of the research, an achievement test to measure the academic achievement of fifth-grade secondary school students in Arabic language grammar was prepared, a sample of (60) female students from the secondary school of Al- Bawaba Al-Sharkey for Girls in Baghdad were chosen for the academic year (2019-2020). For the purpose of applying the experiment, the test was applied on a pilot sample consisting of (30) students from the same research community. The researcher herself had taught the three research groups. After analyzing the data using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the difficulty factor, the strength of distinction, and the Alpha Cronbach equation, the results of the research were as follows:
1- The students of the first experimental group outperformed the second.
2- The students of the first and second experimental groups outperformed the control group.
Recommendations:
- Using the interactive reading strategy to support the educational process of reading material to achieve its goals.
- Organizing training courses for language teachers in general, to train them in designing teaching using the interactive reading strategy.
Suggestions:
- Conducting studies to measure the impact of cross-reading, using the innovative reading strategy at the level of achievement, for the various Arabic language curricula, and for the different academic stages.
• Conducting studies to measure the impact of reading programs, using the strategy of interactive reading, on the level of achievement
