Abstract. This study explores the effectiveness of reading comprehension strategies in enhancing both reading fluency and vocabulary acquisition among EFL learners. Drawing on a quantitative research design, the study involved 60 intermediatelevel students who were exposed to a range of comprehension strategies such as predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing over a 10-week period. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to assess changes in reading fluency and vocabulary knowledge. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in both areas, indicating that systematic use of comprehension strategies not only fosters better understanding of texts but also accelerates vocabulary growth. These findings suggest that integrating comprehension strategies into reading instruction can serve as a powerful tool for language development in EFL contexts
