In Malaysian schools, English is being taught in primary and secondary education for 11 years. One of the most important skills in acquiring language is reading. However, most Malaysian pupils struggle to understand what they are reading and thus fail to make meaning out of their reading when they are reading English texts. Therefore, there is a need to aid the reading comprehension process so that the pupils can make better connection with the text and lessen the cognitive load experienced during reading. This study aims to explore the use of ViRCo (Virtual Reading Comprehension) as a strategy to enable the pupils to comprehend meanings of the reading text in three schools around Malaysia, that are, two rural schools in Johor and Sarawak, Malaysia and a semi-urban school at Pahang, Malaysia. This study was inspired by the theory of Multimedia Learning by Richard Meyer. Kemmis and McTaggart's model of action research is used as a research design for this study. The data was collected via tests before and after the intervention, followed by a questionnaire. The data collected from the tests was analysed and later supported by the questionnaire. The finding shows that there was a significant improvement of mean score from the pre-test to the post-test. As this research had proven effective, it will benefit the teachers to guide their pupils to comprehend the text better and to experience fun learning in reading lesson.
