- Abstract
In contemporary world the importance of English is benchmarked due to global and technological changes. Gaining more and more knowledge has become a necessity, and that is only possible through mastery in the skill of reading English. Since English has been stamped as the library language all over the world, and reading comprehension is a priority area in all English language teaching programmes, so also in Haryana state. The present study is to diagnose the present level of reading ability in the state. The diagnostic test is applied to cover five hundred students ; and teachers' opinionnaire is applied to cover hundred teachers randomly selected from five districts. The overall situation of reading ability in English is found precarious. The education system, methods and techniques of teaching and socio cultural factors are found responsible to some extent for the below average level standard of English reading ability.
