The reading process is considered to be a mean of learning that hold highly efficient mean improve and master the language. It is seen as fundamental skill to learn in the classroom that aims at teaching language [1]. The main purpose of reading is to comprehend the new subjects. Many students at the universities face some difficulties when dealing with comprehending. In this study, the researchers have investigated how Micro Selection (MS) improved the „achievements‟ related to English reading comprehension of Iraqi college students. This investigation was limited to the 2nd-year students from the English department at Imam AL-Khadum college, Baghdad, Iraq, during their current academic year (2022-2023). For fulfilling all the objectives of this study, the researchers hypothesised that there was no significant difference between the average scores of the „achievements‟ of Group 1 students who used Micro Selection (i.e., finding key words and main ideas) and Group 2 students who employed the conventional reading techniques. In order to test the two hypotheses, the researcher chose a sample of (82)students in their second year in English department at Imam AL-Khadum college in Baghdad for the second half of academic year 2022-2023.Theresearchers selected the population sample randomly and then categorised them into 2 groups. Group 1 or the Experimental group included the students who used the Micro Selection technique, while Group 2 or the Control group included the students who did not use this technique. The numbers of the students in the experimental group are (32) and the control group (32). After the experiment has ended, the researcher conducted an achievement test in reading comprehension to check students' achievements before and after. A t-test formula is employed for the two groups' results. The results of this study highlighted the statistically significant differences between the average scores of the above groups. It was noted that the students in the experimental group showed a higher score compared to those in the control group.
