This study adopted the quasi experimental design. It was conducted on 60 students. These participants were selected at random from Sebrbai Official Language School In El- Gharbia Governorate, in the school year 2021/2022.The participants were divided into experimental and control groups, 30 students in each. The experimental group received training through literature circles treatment. On the other hand; the control group received regular instruction. The scores of the students on the reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition pre and post tests were statistically analyzed by applying the paired sample t –test to compare the means of the pre and post tests of the experimental group. In addition, the independent two samples t –test was used to compare the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the reading comprehension post test and vocabulary acquisition post test.
