The ability to read effectively is a prominent skill required in any academic or higher learning contexts.

The sample of this study involved six second-year Bachelor of Arts students, majoring in English Language Studies (ELS) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

Findings revealed variations that represented the deep and surface approaches of reading an academic expository text. Although changes were recorded with each reading, further research could enhance the representation of students‟ approaches to reading if analyzed at individual level.
