This study was aimed to find out the effect of PQRST Method on students’ reading comprehension. There were sixty students, then they divided into two groups namely experimental and control group. The control was taught by conventional method while experimental group was taught by PQRST Method. The researcher used Kuder-Richardson (KR-21) formula to obtain the reliability of the test.. The calculation showed the reliability was 0.91 (high). The data were analyzed by using t-test. The calculation showed t-observed (2.80) is higher than t-table (2.000) at the level of significance (µ) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. Therefore, null hypothesis (ha) is accepted. It means that PQRST Method has significantly affects students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text.   Key words: PQRST Method, Reading Comprehension.

The population of the study was the students of grade X of SMA Negeri 1 Sidamanik. There were sixty students as the sample of the research. This study conducted with two randomized groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by using PQRST method while control group was taught using traditional method. The data of the study were obtain from students’ score of test. To determine the reliability of the test, the writer used the Kuder Richardson formula (KR-21). The result of the study showed that reliability of the test was 0.618. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula, the analysis showed that score students in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of students in the level of control group at the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58 the t-observed is 5.333 while t-table is 2.000. It can be concluded that applying PQRST method significantly affects on students’ reading comprehension. It means that the hypothesis is accepted.

This study was aimed at finding out The Effect of Applying POSSE (Predict-Organize-Search-Summarize-Evaluate) Strategy on the Students’ Reading Comprehension. This study used the experimental design. The population of this study was the students of SMA Negeri 2 Medan. There were sixty students taken as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with two randomized groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by applying POSSE strategy while control group was taught without applying POSSE strategy.

The aim of this study is to discover the effect of applying SQ3R method inreading comprehension. Experimental research design is used as the research method.This research took place at SMA Nasrani 2Medan. There were 2 classes chosen as thesample with 30 students in each class. The classes were divided into two groups namelyexperimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by using SQ3Rmethod and the control group was taught by using conventional method. The instrumentused to collect the data was a set of multiple choice tests, which divided as pre test andpost test. The result of the research was analyzed by using t-test formula. The resultshowed that t-test was higher than t-table (4,23>2,00) at the level of significant 0,05with degree of freedom (df) 58. It means that hypothesis alternative (Ha) is acceptedwhich shows that SQ3R method significantly improves the student’s readingcomprehension.
