The sample were divided into two groups, the first group VII-H which consisted of 36 students was Experimental group which was given treatment by Using Scrabble Media and second group VII-F which consisted of 36 students was Control group which was given treatment by using Conventional Method. Each group was given a pre-test, treatment and post-test. The t-test was 15,71 and the t-table was 1.68 and 0.05 was as the significant level of this research. Because the t-test value was higher than t-table (15,71 > 1.68). It showed that the result in t-test was accepted (Ha).

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.
