Abstract: With the looking-back behavior as an index of metacognition level,the differences of the debugging strategies in reading comprehension between excellent readers and poor readers were examined.62 excellent readers and 63 poor readers were selected from elementary schools,junior high school and senior high school.The results showed that there were three types of looking-back behavior:mnemonic looking-back behavior,comprehending looking-back behavior and examining looking-back behavior;Excellent readers indicated much more metacognitive looking-back behavior than poor readers;Students in metacognitive looking-back behavior group got higher scores in reading comprehension than students with mnemonic looking-back behavior and students without looking-back behavior.

Key words: learning disabilities, reading comprehension, looking-back behavior, metacognition
