.1 Introduction

Most definitions of reading refer to the understanding of meanings of written words and texts that allow people to communicate messages across time and distance. Making sense of written words (whether printed or digital) and communicating through shared texts with interpretive, constructive, and critical thinking is one of the central cognitive tasks that formal schooling around world tries to confer (Wagner, Venezky, & Street,1999). To this end, mobile phone has an important role to teach reading skills in a very simple way within a limited period of time.

1.2 Describing the process

The overall process of the reading activity is practiced by the help of cell phone through Bluetooth and the comments and reflections given after the activities ended.

First, the text was selected from grade 11 student book at the linked website of the MOE. Then, appropriate activities were prepared from it. Next, the created activities were transferred to four of our friends’ cell phone through Blue tooth.

After that, they were asked to read the text and do the activities that follow them and made to share their feelings about the usability of this kind of teaching method. After they had done the activities, they gave the following suggestions:
