At the end of the experimental all obtained data were calculated for percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviations to compare the results of the pre-test and post-test. The findings of the study were as follows: 1) After the use of repeated reading method on reading fluency, the overall average reading rate (WPM) of the last reading was higher with the average of 79.86 while the average reading rate of the first reading was 62.38. Comparing to the reading rate (WPM) criteria, it indicated that students’ level of reading rate for overall texts was in medium level. In addition, the overall mean score of the post-test for comprehension was higher than pretest score with the statistics significant level of .01. 2) Students had positive attitudes towards the use of repeated reading method on reading fluency at the high level with the arithmetic mean of 4.19.
