Abstract
When you read, you exercise your comprehension abilities and your analytical abilities. It fires up
your imagination and stimulates the memory centers of your mind. It helps recall information as well
as stabilize your emotions. The importance of a reading habit is that it strengthens mental muscles.
Reading is one of the best mental workouts there is. This study aims at investigating the role of
intensive and extensive reading in improving students reading speed and which is more helpful for
them, many students face difficulties while reading which leads to slow reading, this is the reason
why too many students do not practice reading, also we hypothesize that students like to read
extensively not intensively. To examine this, the descriptive method is used and a questionnaire is
addressed to students. The results of our research show that students read extensively and intensively
but they think that they improve their reading speed when practicing extensive reading. They enjoy
reading novels, short stories and articles when it is chosen by themselves, also the results of the
questionnaire show that the majority of the students have a negative attitude towards teachers reading
assignments, reading is a difficult process to some students and to others it is a lovely habit.
