One class was assigned as the experimental group, and the other was assigned as the control group. The experiment teaching period was 24 periods, 2 periods a week for 12 weeks. The experimental group received the incorporating Mind Mapping with picturebook reading instruction, while the control group received the regular picture-book reading instruction. Before the study was officially conducted, the experimental group learned Mind Mapping skills for one semester. They also received two Mind Mapping classes as review in the beginning of the next semester.The research tools used were ―Reading Comprehension Test‖ by Miss Li-Chi Lee; ―Picture-Book Reading Comprehension Test‖ designed the researcher, and ―Questionnaire on Mind Mapping Instruction Feedback‖. The data of this research were analyzed by one-way ANCOVA and percentage frequency. The qualitative data such as students’ worksheets, and teaching introspections were integrated to provide an evidence for research results.The major findings of this research were summarized as follows:1. Incorporating Mind Mapping with picture-book reading instruction could raise the students’ reading comprehension ability.2.
