The present study aimed at examining the effect of teaching rewriting and recreating twenty stories from Gulistan by Sa’adi on improving students' scores in the PIRLS. The main objective of this research was to enhance Iranian students' literary and ethical levels as well as improve their PIRLS test results, which have been on a declining trend in recent years. This study was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, combining theoretical and field research, and included both experimental and control groups. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires designed in accordance with the PIRLS test, based on four reading skills. The statistical population consisted of 327 ninth-grade female students from Vahdat, Hajar, and Khwaja Abdullah Ansari high schools in Tehran. Cluster sampling was used, with the experimental group comprising 90 students from Khwaja Abdullah Ansari and the control group consisting of 180 students from Vahdat and Hajar. Data analysis was performed using Excel software. The results indicated that teaching rewriting and recreating of Gulistan stories had a significant positive effect on students' ability to answer PIRLS test questions. Therefore, it can be concluded that this educational method can effectively enhance students' reading skills.
