The subject of this research was two groups, which consist of 34 students in each group.Then reading comprehension test was used as research instrument. The result of the t-test computation showed that t_observed was higher than t _table (6.184>2.036), with the degree of freedom 32 and the level of significance 0.05 and the probability (Asymp.Sig.2 tailed) was lower than the level of significance (0.000<0.05). It can be concluded that the null hypothesis of no difference was rejected.
