Özet
In this study, the silent reading speed and reading comprehension competency level of 160 students from three different high schools located in different socio- economic environments of the central districts of Ankara are determined. The silent reading speed of students is measured as 155.9 words per minute (WPM) on newspaper reading; 140.4 WPM on scientific text; 146.8 WPM on literary text. The average is 147.7 WPM, which is very low with respect to the figure obtained among the high school students in developed countries. The comprehension level of students is measured as 77.5 % on newspaper reading, 63.9 % on scientific text, and 65.5 % on literary text, with the overall average of 69%. In the study, a positive relation is determined between the silent reading speed and comprehension level of students in all three types of text.
