Abstract

ADHD is a disorder diagnosed in 21st century students in a notable manner. This increase in diagnosis has recently led the scholars to study these kinds of students’ learning skills extensively. Reading as a skill is highly problematic for such students. Thus, this research is discussing the classroom reading strategies that must be adopted for the students who have this disability. Three students volunteered to participate in the research. These students were all diagnosed with the disorder by a psychologist. As a result of the research conducted, the students learned how to read strategically. The strategies implemented are metacognitive, cognitive and social-affective. Due to their application, such students can achieve higher success in reading comprehension questions.
