Then two classes of grade VIII-4 and VIII-6 were chosen in this study as the sample. This study was an experimental research. The instrument used in this research was reading comprehension test and questionnaire sheet. The data were analysed by using two ways analysis of variance (Anova) 2x2 factorial design F-test at the level of significant 5% or ? = 0.05. The result of data analysis proved that:    The students’ achievement in reading comprehension taught by using INSERT strategy was higher than that taught by using K-W-L strategy, (2) The students’ achievement in reading comprehension with high curiosity was higher than that low curiosity, and (3) There was interaction between teaching strategies and curiosity on the students’ achievement in reading comprehension by observing the data analysis, and the scores means of the students.

The objectives of this study were to find out whether 1) students’ achievement in reading comprehension taught by using INSERT strategy was higher than those taught by using SQ3R strategy, 2) Students’ achievement in reading comprehension having high curiosity was higher than those having low curiosity, 3) there was an interaction between teaching strategies and curiosity on students’ achievement in reading comprehension. Quasi experimental research with factorial design 2 × 2 was used in this study. The total number of sample were 76 persons, with 38 students of each class (experimental and control classes). The first class was treated by using INSERT strategy and the second class was treated by using SQ3R strategy. The students were also divided into two groups based on curiosity, such as high and low curiosity. The data were collected through reading comprehension by using objective test, whereas for aptitude like curiosity, questionaire was used. The data were then analyzed by applying two-way ANOVA at the level of significance at α = 0.05. The data analysis revealed that (1) students’ achievement in reading comprehension taught by using INSERT was higher than those taught by using SQ3R, with Fobs (27.32) > Ftab (3.98), (2) students’ achievement in reading comprehension with high curiosity was higher than those students with low curiosity with Fobs (6.92) > Ftab (3.98), (3) there was an interaction between teaching strategies and students’ curiosity on students’ achievement in reading comprehension with Fobs (15.43) > Ftab (3.98). Tuckey test was then applied to verify the interaction between each sample comparison.

So,  to solve the students'dstudents' problems, the researchers used Phrase - Cued text (PCT) strategy in teaching reading. The purpose of this research was to know the significant effect of teaching reading by using PCT at the eight grade students of SMPN 2 Harau in 2016/217 academic year. This research was an experimental research. The population of this research was the eight grade students of SMP N 2 Harau in 2016/2017 academic year. There were seven classes of eight grade. The sample of this research chosen by using cluster sampling. The experimental class was VIII.6 had been taught by using PCT and the control class was VIII. 7 had  been taught by using conventional strategy.  The instrument of this research was reading test in multiple choice form.  It was valid because the students have learnt the material and had been stated in syllabus and based on curriculum. Then,  the instrument was reliable because the coefficient of reliability of split half was 0.78. The researchers analyzed the data by using t-test suggested by Gay et Al. The result of the data analysis was t-calculated (3.97) t-table (2.042) where the level of significant was 0.05 with degree freedom was 38. H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted.  So,  it can be concluded that there was significant effect of teaching reading by using PCT strategy at the eight grade students of SMP N 2 Harau.So, it is suggested for English teacher to use this PCT strategy in reading lesson.

This study aims at describing how the teachers teach reading comprehension of narrative text to the tenth grade students in Sibolangit and revealing the underlying reasons of why do they do that way. This study was conducted by using qualitative research design. The subject of this study were two english teachers who taught at tenth grade students of two SMA in Sibolangit they are : SMA Negeri  1 Sibolangit  and SMA RK Deli Murni Bandar Baru in academic year 2016/ 2017. The data were analyzed by using Miles and Huberman data analysis technique. The  technique of collecting the data was recorded from the classroom process in teaching reading comprehension of narrative text. The findings of the study show that most of teachers’ ways are not yet focusing on teaching reading comprehension but rather focusing teaching the knowledge of genre. The underlying reason of the teachers’ ways in teaching reading comprehension did not facilitate reading comprehension. It was due to the misperception of the concept of teaching reading comprehension.  Keywords : Teaching,Reading Comprehension,Narrative Text.
