The research takes scientific expository as an example to design a system according to reading comprehension principles with recognition of expository structure. The thesis also explores if students really improve their summarizing ability with the training of this system and investigates if the students think the system to be helpful. A quasi-experimental design was adopted in this research for the 126 fifth graders in an elementary school in Taipei County. We adopt comparison and causation expository as experimental article. The finding shows that: (1) With respect to causation expository: Students who use summarizing strategy instruction system show better performance than the ones who learn summarizing strategy from their teachers. (2) With respect to comparison expository : The students with lower pre-test scores would have better performance when they use summarizing strategy instruction system ; However, the students with higher pre-test scores would have better performance whey they learn summarizing strategy from their teachers. (3)The students appreciate summarizing strategy instruction system positively.
