After conducting the program and research tools pre and post, the results showed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of students of the experimental group and the control group in the post application to test achievement of critical reading comprehension in favor of the experimental group. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the students of the experimental group in favor of the post-test. It concludes that the effectiveness of the brain-based learning program is more than the magnitude of the impact is very large
