English reading ability, as one of the fundamental skills in English learning, is closely related to students’ use of reading strategies. However, during junior high school English instruction, teachers often observe that there are great differences in students’ reading ability. This research employs methods such as questionnaires, interviews, and comparative analysis to explore the overall usage and specific differences in English reading strategies between urban and rural junior high school students. The findings reveal noticeable disparities in the selection and application of reading strategies between urban and rural students. Consequently, targeted teaching strategies and improvement suggestions are proposed to provide educators with practical experience and theoretical support, so as to enhance the quality of English teaching, improve students’ reading ability and promote balanced development in English education.
