    The objective of this research was to analyze the perspectives on the use of fables for the improvement of reading comprehension in seventh graders English students. In a descriptive design, the participants were in total 61 students (34 and 27 females). The study used a survey that was verified by 5 experts. The total number of questions was 22, divided into 8 questions for the dependent variable (fables) and 9 questions for the independent variable (reading comprehension). This survey was evaluated using the Likert scale: (Always 5, Often 4, Sometimes 3, Rarely 2, Never 1). In addition, the research was based on three research questions related to the objectives. A descriptive design was used to combine quantitative analysis of the survey results with interpretation of the data. Moreover, the study was given by a pre-pilot test for 10 students in which Combrach's alpha coefficient confirmed that the survey can be applied (M=7.72). Validation was also carried out to show acceptance of each question by applying Aiken's V coefficient. The results reveal that the fables most used by the students are didactic and poetic. In addition, some of the skills most used by the students were prediction, skimming and scanning. The results also reveal that the students faced difficult strategies to improve their comprehension. However, one of the skills that students do not like is inferring, which becomes an obstacle for them. In addition, the strategies that students used the most were summarizing, prior knowledge, and visualizing.
