To carry out this research, thirty two students of grade-X from the government aided school Shree Bhanu Bhakta Higher Secondary School, Manglabare Ilam were selected as sample. A test consisting of five different test items was used as the main tool for data collection. For experiment, students were divided into two groups by simple random sampling procedure and a pre-test was administered before starting the treatment .After that, both groups were taught the same teaching items. The only difference between experimental group and controlled group was the use of supplementary materials for experimental group. After the completion of teaching of four weeks, a post-test was administered. Then, the results of both pre-test and post-test were compared to determine the role of supplementary materials in teaching reading. The main finding of this study is that use of supplementary materials is more effective in teaching reading skill than teaching just the prescribed textbook.
