The cultivation of middle school students' English reading ability and the application of reading strategies have become really important research topics. Thus, this paper uses CiteSpace to visually analyze literature on cognitive and meta-cognitive English reading strategies in Web of Science Core Collection, and then answers how students in different reading grades use cognitive and meta-cognitive English reading strategies through data analysis. It is ultimately concluded that students with better grades use more cognitive and meta-cognitive English reading strategies, while those with poorer grades use less. In particular, the differences in the use of meta-cognitive reading strategies are more obvious. Therefore, more relevant studies need to be analyzed some common problems of junior middle school students in English reading, so as to help English teachers understand the differences of students' English reading by combining theory and practice, and achieve the purpose of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
