The approximate acronym stands for \"What I Know,\" \"What I Want to Know,\"and \"What I Learned.\" Many students and teachers also use it as a reading comprehension aid) strategy on the reading comprehension skill levels of primary school 4th grade students. In the research, pre-test-post-test control group half experimental design was used. The mixed method including quantitative and qualitative research methods was used in the study. The study group of the research consists of 40 students studying in a primary school in Sarıkamış district of Kars province, Turkey. The treatment dimension of the research took 6 weeks. As a result of the research, a significant difference was found in favor of the experimental group in terms of posttest scores. In addition, a difference was found in the experimental group in terms of first and post test scores, but not a difference in the control group. In addition, in line with the findings obtained from other data collection tools, it was found that the KWL strategy increased students' interest and motivation; It was determined that the students expressed positive opinions about using the strategy.  \nKeywords: The KWL strategy, Reading comprehension, Turkish instruction, Fourth grade.  \n* Primary School Teacher, Ministry of Education, Muğla, Turkey.

For this reason, reading is the most basic way to get up-todate and reliable information. Grabe and Stoller (2011) define reading as “the event of understanding a written content and explaining information correctly”. According to Karatay (2007, p.9) reading, words, visual elements such as graphics, pictures and shapes are perceived through the sensory organs and associated with preliminary information is a cognitive activity. Pang and others, 2010, p.6) states that “reading is about understanding written texts. It is a complex activity that involves both perception and thought. Reading consists of two related processes: word recognition and comprehension. Richards and Schmidt (2010), on the other hand, refer to “reading as the process of understanding the content of a written text”, while Hoover and Gough (1990) state that reading consists of two elements: “receiving the message of the text” and “grasping the text”. According to Anılan (2004, p.91),“reading is a process of social activity in terms of both physiological and mental, environmental conditions”. Based on these definitions, reading can be expressed as a mental and complex process of creating meaning that occurs as a result of the mutual interaction of physiological and cognitive processes. Another basic skill that needs to be acquired in addition to reading is the ability to understand. This skill gives students the ability to see the problems, events, and differences they will face in their lives. The main goal at the end of reading is to provide understanding.  \nIn the process of understanding, the individual deduces new meanings from the text he/she reads with the help of his/her prior knowledge and experience (Çiftçi, 2007, p.62) . According to Temizkan (2008, p.132) the understanding, is to reach a judgment by comparing the information obtained from the subject being read with the preliminary knowledge and experience. It is to understand what the text wants to say. Güneyli (2003, p.26) defined understanding as “correctly perceiving and interpreting what is me","cbCaiaf0KOPsfaME","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaf0KOPsfaME","pdf",616997,24,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What does the KWL reading strategy stand for?\",\"answer\":\"KWL refers to “What I Know,” “What I Want to Know,” and “What I Learned,” used as a reading comprehension aid.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The research used a pre-test-post-test control group half experimental design with mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, running for 6 weeks.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the study’s main results?\",\"answer\":\"The experimental group had significantly higher posttest scores than the control group.
