Although single-pass reading plays a crucial role when we just want the general meaning and do not necessarily need to understand every single point of the text, it is not enough for tackling tasks that need a deep analysis of the text.
with single-pass reading, repeated reading involves the process where learners repeatedly read the text in detail with specific learning aims, and has the potential to improve readers' reading fluency and comprehension of the text (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000;LaBerge and Samuels, 1974).
