Blended Learning has been known as an effective approach in Teaching for a long time and it has become much more efficient during the Era of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the application of Blended learning in Teaching Reading Skill to EFL Freshmen. The technique was applied in an experimental class with 33 students while a controlled class of 35 students was taught without it. A pre-test and a post-test were conducted to measure all the students reading performance. A questionaire was also used to investigate students' attitude toward Blended Learning in reading class. The findings revealed that the students in experimental class performed better that those in the controlled class. The answers also showed that most of the students in the experimental class have positive attitude toward Blended Learning and more motivation to the reading topics. On the basis of the findings, some implications were also suggested for better results in applying Blended Leasrning in teaching reading in the EFL context in the future.
