This study has been done to see the effects of listening, listening with visual support (visual based listening), oral and silent reading on comprehension. The research has been carried out at Prof. Dr. Erol Güngör Primary school in Kırşehir by sampling 48 sixth graders. While choosing the sample students, their success at Turkish Course was taken in to consideration. 48 students were divided into four groups. 12 students in the first group were made to listen to an audio text in their own classroom and the second group was allowed to read the same text silently in their classroom. The other two groups were provided with slides while listening the text or reading it loudly. At the end of the study, an achievement test was applied. The results showed that the average success point of the group that performed a listening activity with a visual support (visual based listening activity) is 37.872, the average point of silent readers is 35.238, the average point of the group who only listened to the text is 32.577, and the average point of oral readers’ group is 27.662.
