Mindful Speed Reading: Adapting Mindfulness Practices for Improving Comprehension

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the Mindfulness Speed Reading: in improving reading comprehension among seventh-grade students at MTs Nurul Amal Pusat Menes. Using a true experimental design, two classes were selected: one as the experimental group receiving the mindfulness speed reading treatment, and the other as the control group receiving no treatment. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and N-Gain tests. Results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, with an N-Gain score of 68.76%, categorized as moderate to high effectiveness. The findings indicate that integrating mindfulness practices into speed reading not only helps students read faster but also enhances their focus, reduces distractions, and improves comprehension. This approach offers a promising strategy for educators to support students in developing both reading speed and understanding in English learning contexts.
