Keywords: Academic lyceum, reading strategies, metacognitive skills, learner competence, independent reading, critical thinking, reading effectiveness. Reading strategies play a fundamental role in the academic success of lyceum students, who are preparing for higher education and intellectual challenges. This article explores the importance of reading, examines a variety of strategies, and provides insights into effective classroom practices for enhancing students' reading skills. The discussion includes types of strategies—cognitive, metacognitive, social- affective—along with challenges, real-life applications, and pedagogical recommendations tailored to academic lyceums. In an ever-evolving global education landscape, academic institutions are placing greater emphasis on cultivating critical reading abilities among students. Academic lyceums, as specialized institutions focused on preparing students for tertiary education, demand rigorous reading skills across subjects like literature, science, history, and philosophy. Reading is not just a passive skill but a cognitive process involving analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and reflection. However, many lyceum students struggle with reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and inferential thinking due to inadequate strategy use. Therefore, incorporating effective reading strategies into the classroom environment becomes not only beneficial but essential. This paper aims to present a comprehensive overview of how reading strategies can be used, taught, and reinforced in academic lyceums to enhance educational outcomes. Reading forms the backbone of academic learning. Whether it is understanding a historical document, analyzing a piece of literature, or interpreting scientific research, students rely heavily on their reading abilities. At academic lyceums, the curriculum is designed to challenge students intellectually. Reading assignments often include dense, technical, or abstract texts requiring advanced comprehension. Moreover, reading proficiency directly correlates with standardized test performance, academic writing skills, and overall classroom participation. Reading also nurtures independence in learning, allowing students to acquire new knowledge beyond the classroom setting. In this sense, reading is not just a skill, but a lifelong competency that underpins academic and career success. Reading strategies are techniques consciously employed by readers to make sense of written texts. These strategies help readers navigate unfamiliar vocabulary, predict upcoming information, clarify confusion, make inferences and retain essential ideas. Effective reading is not merely about decoding words but constructing meaning. The goal of using strategies is to enhance comprehension and critical engagement with https://scientific-jl.com/ped 2 8 Volume-86, Issue-1, July -2025 “PEDAGOGS” international research journal ISSN: 2181-3027_SJIF: 5.449 texts. Reading strategies make learners more intentional, self-aware, and analytical in their approach to reading tasks. Reading strategies can be classified into several categories: Cognitive strategies: Enable learners to process and comprehend information. Examples include summarizing, underlining, and making predictions. Metacognitive strategies: Involve self-monitoring and self-regulation of one’s own reading process. Examples include checking
