Öz

Reading
comprehension is the gateway to acquire knowledge, therefore, it has attracted
attention in academic environment. Silent reading is accepted as the major
reading mode, and it is associated with the idea of reading for comprehension.
In the related literature there exist contradictory studies on the efficiency
of silent reading. Thus the present research investigates students’ attitudes
towards silent reading in terms of its effectiveness in reading comprehension,
reading for pleasure, and concentration. The present study was conducted with
120 preparatory school students from different levels at a state university in
Bursa. In the study, a mixed method research design was used. Quantitative
data were gathered via a questionnaire and qualitative data were gathered via
an interview from 12 participants for a deeper understanding of the students’
attitudes towards the effectiveness of silent reading. According to the
results, the participants have a moderately positive level of agreement that they
can grasp the meaning easily and concentrate better while reading silently.
