This study aims to investigate the effects of using children`s English newspapers on 6th grade students` English reading skills. This study intended to find answers to four different research questions. First, what effect does the use of children`s English newspapers (compared with the use of reading materials included in the textbook) have on their reading abilities? Second, what effects does the use of English newspapers have with level-based groups? Third, how are the different areas of reading skills affected by newspaper reading activities? Fourth, what are the participants` reponses to newspaper reading activities? In order to find the answers to these questions, an experimental group of 6th grade students participated in newspaper reading activities while a control group of students participated in regular reading activities following the teacher`s guide of the 7th National Curriculum. In the results, children who were taught with English newspapers showed a greater improvement in their reading skills than those who were taught with reading materials from the textbook. This was confirmed in both higher- and lower-level groups. The participants of this study showed a medium level of interest in newspaper reading activities. The results suggest a need for on-going use of English newspaper materials accompanied by level-appropriate activities to enhance children`s reading skills.
