The present study aimed at investigating the using of a metamemory based program in developing EFL secondary school students’ creative reading skills. Seventy second-year secondary school students were the participants in this study. They were assigned randomly to an experimental group (thirty-five) and a control group (thirty-five). An EFL creative reading skill test was used as an instrument in this study. A metamemory-based program was designed by the researcher to develop the experimental group students' creative reading skills. The program was conducted in the second term of the academic year (2015/2016) and lasted for nine weeks, two sessions a week. On the other hand, the students of the control group received the regular instruction. By the end of the experimentation, the creative reading test was administered to the control and the experimental groups to identify the difference of the metamemory program in developing the EFL creative reading skills. The results of the study revealed that the meta-memory based program was efficient in developing the experimental group's EFL creative reading skills. (Published Abstract)
