The population and sample participated was the eighth grade students at Islamic Junior High School Al-Muttaqin Pekanbaru. The number of sampling was selected by using cluster random sampling technique. The technique of analyzing data used was independent sample-T-test and effect size. The result of data analysis showed that there is a significant difference on students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts taught without and by using the Puppet Show Strategy, in which the Sig (2-tailed) 0.000 had less value than 0.05. Thus, Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. Furthermore, there is a significant effect of using the Puppet Show strategy on the students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts of the eighth grade at Islamic Junior High School Al-Muttaqin Pekanbaru, in which the result of eta squared 0.285 was bigger than 0.21, thus, it was categorized into “modest effect”.

Two classes were taken as the subject namely experimental and control class. The data of test got from both experimental and control class was analyzed by T test formula. The result of calculation showed that t was 6.58, and t  with df  75 in account table the significant degree of 5% is 1.992. It means that t  is higher than t (6.58 > account table 1.992). The average of post-test in the experimental class was 81, while the KKM of English subject is 75. It can be concluded that Note-Taking Pairs Technique is effective in teaching reading comprehension at junior high school.

This type of research is quasi experimental (pseudo experiment). This study design had a control group, but it was not selected by randomly. In this study the researchers used two groups, namely the treatment group who were given brain exercise with a frequency of 6 times a week, light intensity, with duration of 1 exercise. The results showed that in the pre-test and post-test intervention groups there was p = 0.008 or p <0.05. It means that there are significant differences in the ability to memorize before and after being given brain exercise. Whereas in the control group p = 0.063 or p> 0.05 that means there is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results because they are not given brain exercise.

It was a quasi – experimental research that involved two classes of samples, they are experimental class and control class. The population consisted of the second year students’ of Junior High School Number 14 Bengkulu in Academic Year 2008/2009. The experimental class was treated by picture series technique for one month, while the control class was taught by using the conventional technique. Both classes were given pre test before treatment. The average score of both classes were analyzed by using the t -test formula. T count was smaller than t table (0.126<2.000). It means that there was no significance difference between the experimental and the control class. In other words, those classes could be accepted as the samples for this research. Both classes were given a post test after them giving a treatment (by using picture series technique) for several times. The average scores both classes were calculated by using the t-test formula. T obtained was higher than t-table (4.054>2.000). The result showed that there was a significant difference in post test score average between the experimental class and the control class.
