This study answered the following research questions: - What is the effect of the directed reading thinking activity through cooperative learning on English secondary stage students’ reading comprehension in Jordan? - What is the effect of the directed reading thinking activity through cooperative learning on English secondary stage students’ critical thinking skills in Jordan? The subjects of the study were chosen purposefully from public schools in Amman Second Directorate of Education.

It consisted of 42 students who were enrolled in two sections in one school.

The experimental group encompassed 22 students and the control group encompassed 20 students.

The teaching program was based on a strategy which included the direct reading thinking activity through using cooperative learning designed to teach four units to the experimental group.

- There is a statistically significant difference at (α= 0.05) in critical thinking skills in favor of the experimental group among English secondary stage students in Jordan due to the instructional strategy.
