This research  had purpose to find out whether there was a positive effect of scavenger hunt technique on students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text. Scavenger Hunt is a fact-finding and information-processing activity, where the students work in group to search for hidden items and perform task by using some clues.The method used in this research was quasi-experimental research. This research was conducted at the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Kota Solok. The samples of this research were two homogeneous classes that chosen by using purposive sampling technique. The experimental class was taught by using scavenger hunt technique, meanwhile the control class was taught by using three phase technique. The technique of gathering the data of this research was by using reading test. The result of this research showed that there was a positive effect of implementation scavenger hunt technique, where the mean score at experimental class was 77,14 and control class was 72,94. Thus, the experimental students outcomes were higher than the control class.It means that students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text taught by using Scavenger Hunt game technique was better than taught by using three phase technique.  Keywords: Scavenger Hunt, Reading Comprehension, Descriptive Text

<p style="text-align: justify;">The eighth-grade students of SMPN 2 Danau Kembar of West Sumatra, Indonesia, had a problem with their reading skills since they unexpectedly did not understand the texts well. The implementation of an inappropriate learning strategy was criticized as one of the factors contributing to the problem. This study aimed to determine the impact of the 3H strategy on increasing the student's ability to understand the descriptive text. It was quasi-experimental research in which two classes were assigned to experimental and control classes. Each class consisted of 24 pupils (VIII-A) as an experimental class, and 24 pupils (VIII B) as a control class were selected as a sample through an objective inspection. The mean score of understudy reading perception in the test class is 75.71 higher than the mean score of student reading comprehension in the control class is 69.54. The researcher was given 2,91 for the data T calculated and 1,68 for the Ttable. Overall, H0 was rejected, and Ha was received. In view of the findings of the research, teaching reading through the use of the 3H strategy has a positive effect on students reading understanding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh siswa kelas delapan SMPN 2 Danau Kembar di Sumatera Barat</em><em>, Indonesia</em><em> dalam kemampuan mereka </em><em>dalam memahami teks</em><em> merupakan landasan dasar permasalahan dari penelitian ini.

Abstract: This research aimed to investigate whether or not there were significant differences in reading comprehension and writing achievement between the eighth grade students of SMP Islam Az-Zahra 2 Palembang who were taught by using Literature-Based instruction and those who were not. This study used one of the quasi experimental designs: pretest-posttest design. The sample was selected purposively from the whole population based on their reading comprehension scores. Forty six eighth graders were selected as the sample and equally divided into experimental and control groups. Pretest and posttest were given to both groups.  Using paired sample statistics,  the results of the experimental group showed that the students’ reading comprehension and writing achievement ? significantly improved. Furthermore, the result of the independent t-test showed that with mean difference of reading comprehension was 8.609, t value 11.111(p<0.05). Moreover, the mean difference of writing achievement was 6.8043, t value 10.478 (p<0.05).   Keywords:   Literature-based instruction, reading                     comprehension and writing achievement.

The aim of this research was to examine the directed reading thinking activity (DRTA) strategy on students’ reading skills. This research was classified as experimental research applying a quasi-experimental design. This study involved 60 students of second-grade students of SMPN 1 Jonggat. The students were divided into two groups, the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to DRTA strategy, while the control group was treated using the conventional learning strategy. The data were obtained by using a reading test. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data were calculated using SPSS 19.0 for Windows. The descriptive statistic was aimed at finding out the students’ mean score, mode, median, and standard deviation. Hence, the inferential statistic was used to test the research hypothesis using the independent sample t-test. The results of the research showed that the DRTA strategy in teaching reading had a more positive effect than the conventional learning strategy. It was proven that the students’ mean score in the experimental class (78.80) was higher than those in the control group (73.73). In addition, the score of 2-tailed (0.032) was lower than the sig. level 0.05. Therefore, the hypothesis was accepted. It means that the directed reading thinking (DRTA) strategy had a significant effect on students’ reading comprehension.
