The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an early numeracy Tier 2 intervention on the mathematics performance of second-grade students with persistent mathematics difficulties. Whole number content and instructional design features were used to boost performance in second-grade early numeracy concepts and skills. Researchers employed a pretest-posttest control group design with randomized assignment of 83 students to the treatment condition and 38 students to the comparison condition. The research team’s mathematics interventionists delivered instruction four days per week for 20 weeks to small groups of second-grade students who were identified with persistent mathematics difficulties. Proximal and distal measures were used to determine the effects of the intervention. Findings showed that students in the treatment group outperformed students in the comparison group on the proximal measure of mathematics performance. There were no differences between groups on the problem-solving measures.

In this term, the result of the value, it is needed consult t-table by using N-1 as the degree freedom (df). The df is N-1 = 20-1= 19, having known the value of df, the researcher needed to cheeked up the t-table of df19. Theresearcher found that the value t-table was 2.093 for confidence level of 0.05 (95%) and the value t-test was 2.168. t-test was higher than t-table (2.168 > 2.093). In which t-test value was significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that Running Dictation technique is effective towards students’ reading comprehension at the second grade students of SMPN 4 Batukliang Utara in academic year 2018/2019.

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of using fix-up strategy on the students’ reading comprehension at MA AL-Wasilah Lemo. The population in this research was the second grade students of MA Al-Wasilah Lemo. The sample was consisted of 30 students which were taken by total sampling technique. There were 15 students in class Agama II 1 as experimental class and 15 students in Agama I as controlled class. This research was quasi experimental with the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The data was analyzed statistically after the result of the test was gained.The research findings showed that the twelve grades students of MA Al-Wasilah Lemo obtained score on pre-test with the mean score 44.00 which classified as poor. After giving treatment the students obtained improvement, they gained score with the mean score 65.00 as fair classification. The result of the data analysis indicated that there was a significant improvement in the students reading analytical exposition text after being taught using fix-up strategy. It was proved by the result of the statistical analysis of the level significance 0.05 with degree of freedom (df) 14 indicated t-test values of the students’ reading analytical exposition text (5.209) was higher than t-table value (2.145). Based on the result of analysis, the researcher concludes that fix-up strategy was effective to improve students in reading comprehension at the twelve grade of MA Al-wasilah Lemo.

This research was aimed to find out “The Effectiveness of Memories and Draw Towards Students’ Motivation in Reading Comprehension”. The research was experimental research in form of quasi-experimental and the design that was used was the non-equivalent control group design. The population of this research was the second grade students of SMP Al-Ashriyah Sesela which consisted of two classes. The samples were VIII A as experimental class, and VIII B as control class where experimental class was treated by using Memories and Draw, and control class was treated by using matching picture. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistic (mean score, median, mode, and standard deviation). The researcher found that the motivation of the second grade students in reading comprehension effective by using Memories and Draw technique by the increase of mean score of experimental class that is 50.2 in the pre-test and 73.6 in the posttest. The result of the research was significant because the t-test also showed that Memories and Draw method effective to improve students’ motivation in reading comprehension especially in reading descriptive text, because the value of t-test = 2.705 > t-table = 1, 697.

This research was conducted as the result of experiment using non-equivalent control group design. The population of this research was the whole second-grade students in SMAN 1 Kediri. To limit the sample, surfeited sampling was applied consisting the students in class XI MS I as the experiment class and class MS II as the control class. Research instrument used was the multiple-choice test after the tests of validity, reliability, discrimination power, and difficulty level have been done. The increasing of the learning outcome was defined from the result of N-gain test per sub-chapter. The result of this research showed that the learning outcome of the students has increased to both classes.

This research  aims to determine the effect of the use crossword puzzle media on the ability of vocabulary mastery of second grade students SDN 68 City of Bengkulu. This research is a quantitative research. The research method used is Quasi Experimental Design with The Matching Only Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population in this study is all students of class II SDN  in Bengkulu City that accredited A and use curriculum KTS. Sampling technique with Cluster Random Sampling. The sample obtained is SDN 68 Kota Bengkulu with the number of samples consisting of class V A and V B . Data of this research are analyzed by using inferential analysis that is uji t. From the result of the research, the result of  t with thitung  is 2,43 and t tabel value with significant level 5% equal to 2,04. So with thitung (2,43)> ttabel (2,04). The calculated value obtained is greater than the value of ttabel  so that H0 rejected and Ha accepted. The value of thitung obtained is greater than the ttabel value then it can be concluded that there is influence of media use of audio visual to the ability to listen the story on the student of class V in SDN 68 city of Bengkulu.

This research was aimed to find out or not Commentary Strategy has significant effect in teaching speaking, and has correlation students self-confidence and their speaking ability. The research was quasi- experimental method and design was non equivalent control group design. The population of this research was the whole students of second grade students of MA NW AIKMEL, the total population is 43 students that consisted of two class. The sample was taken from of the second grade  students which  consisted of 43 students. The data were gained from pre-test and post-test of oral  and questionnaire. The instrument was in form of test and questionnaire. In analyzing the data, t-test formula was used. The finding showed that the mean score of post-test for experimental is ( 60,70 ) higher than control ( 49,61 ). Further, the result of t-test showed  ( 1,76 ) is higher than t-table ( 1.684 ) with the degree of freedom (df) = 95 at the significant level  = 0. 05. It mean that the alternative Hypothesis  ( Ha) was accepted and Null Hypothesis  was rejected . and  then there is correlation between students self-confidence and their speaking ability, it was found in experimental group r-test showed r is higher than the r table (r= 0,791 ≥ rt = 0, 444) and  for control group r-test showed r is higher than the r table ( r =  0, 482 ≥ rt = 0, 0,444). So it can be concluded that commentary strategy has significant effect towards students self-confidence in speaking ability and there is correlation between students self-confidence and their speaking ability at the second grade students of MA NW AIKMEL in academic year 2016/2017.
