The study intended to find out if the use of Cooperative Learning</p><p>method can bring about improvement in the post-test scores after treatment as compared to the</p><p>pre-test scores. The one-group pre-test post- test experimental design was adopted in this study in</p><p>order to discover the effectiveness of Cooperative Learning method in improving reading</p><p>comprehension. Twenty form four students of a National Secondary school served as samples in this</p><p>study. At the beginning stage of the experiment, a pre-test was administered to the group of</p><p>students.
