In this study, its examined that, whether or not there is any significant difference betweenreading with PQRST or repetitive normal reading, about recalling. Research grounded on quantitativeparadigm. Experimental model used with single subject. Eight texts read four times in a row with normalreading, eight texts read with PQRST. After reading each text, ten-question test was done by the subjectstudent. One test was done immediately and the other was delayed for 30 minutes. The results analyzedwith Wilcoxon signed ranks test. It was found that repetitive normal reading was better than readingwith PQRST at recalling in the short term. There was no significant difference about recalling in the longterm between PQRST and repetitive normal reading. Also, it was found that there was a significantdifference when we compare the difference between immediate and delayed tests of PQRST and normalreading sessions, in favor of PQRST.
