Abstract

Reading is an essential skill in the process of acquiring proficiency in a language, particularly for English learners. High achiever students consistently demonstrate excellent performance in their learning endeavors. This study aims to identify the strategies employed by high achiever students in their reading processes. To achieve this objective, a descriptive qualitative method was utilized. Interviews were conducted with three high achiever students and one teacher. The results indicate that high achiever students use several strategies, including previewing, predicting, skimming and scanning, guessing from the context, paraphrasing, activating prior knowledge, considering cognates, and omitting unfamiliar words. Additionally, the choice of reading strategies is influenced by both situational and individual factors. This research provides valuable insights into the reading strategies of high achiever students, highlighting the importance of strategic approaches in enhancing reading comprehension. These findings can inform educators and curriculum developers in designing more effective reading programs tailored to the needs of high achievers, ultimately contributing to improved educational outcomes.
