For this aim, 40 students were selected randomly and after taking a placement test, they were divided into experimental and control group. The experimental group received the treatment, i.e. learning reading texts by the use of SMS, while for the control group reading was taught traditionally through paper and pencil. After 4 months of instruction, the posttest was administered and its result was compared with the pre-test.
