This study focuses on how communicative competence should be developed through effective reading. The basic idea of developing communicative competence comes from different points. For instance, syllabus may not give much concern and sufficient activities to improve learners’ communicative competence in all cases. In addition to the problems of pronunciation, stress, intonation, grammatical structures and vocabulary of English language, this may be attributed to the lack of listening materials and limited exposure to conversational English. The direct cause may be rooted in the methods, strategies, activities and the characteristics of effective reading, deveolping students’ communicative competence, determining to what extend effective reading helps in developing learners’ communicative competence. The tool used for collecting data for this study is a questionnaire which is base on 13 statements. The sample of the study consists of 50 teachers of English at the basic level chosen randomly from teachers of English at AlShagra in the South of Khartoum state. SPSS programmed was used to analyze the data. The analysis of the data leads to the fact that communicative competence can be successfully developed through effective reading. Most of English language teachers are unqualified and untrained, the lack of continuous follow-up of teachers and parents. In the light of the results reached so far, it is recommended that communicative competence should be developed through effective reading, communicative competence should be given more attention in the present syllabus and students should be given adequate opportunities to practice English in authentic communicative situations. Also teachers and parents should follow-up closely and encourage learners to develop their language.
