This study aimed  to address the problem of  10th  grade students’ weakness in  reading maps  in geography in Palestine through  developing   a computerized tutorial based on interactive multimedia and blending it  into student learning of a unit on  (The continent of Latin America). The study sample consisted of  schools  in Nablus: one female school and one male school. Two sections were randomly selected from each school. The first section represented the experimental group (57 items: 28 male & 29 female) which was taught by the tutorial while the second one represented the control group (56 items: 29 male & 27 female) that was taught by the traditional method. At the end of the experimentation, the two groups sat for an achievement test which aimed at measuring students’ skills in reading maps.
