The research lasted for 6 weeks. Considering the results obtained from the research, the following results were reached. “The Turkish curriculum enriched with multi-sensory reading activities is more effective than the existing Turkish curriculum in the development of Reading Comprehension Skills.” “In the development of Reading Comprehension Strategies, the Turkish curriculum enriched with multi-sensory reading activities is more effective than the existing Turkish curriculum.” and “The Turkish curriculum enriched with multi-sensory reading activities is more effective than the existing Turkish curriculum in the development of Reading Motivation.”
