Macceca . defines GRASP (Guided Reading and Summarizing Procedur. is in the form of summary which compresses many ideas into a brief synopsis. Its function in teaching reading is to improve studentsAo reading comprehension. Then, it helps the students recall the information and organize existing materials well. Summarizing can be quite difficult for students unless guidance and practice can be provided for students. This method illustratee what a summary is and how to summarize many ideas into a brief The goals of teaching using GRASP is to help students to summarize independently when they try to understand as well as study text.

II. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This research was conducted at SMK Tamansiswa Binjai. It is Jl. Jendral Sudirman No. 11,Tangsi. Binjai. Kota Binjai. Sumatera Utara 20713. This school is located in the center of Binjai. The type of this research is experimental research, precisely true experimental research. The (TrueExperimenta. is investigating the possible causal relationship with a design where there is a real treatment group and control group and comparing the results of treatment with Considering this, the researcher using the cluster random sampling to taken the sample. So, the researcher taken two classes, it means X-1 class and X-2 class as the sample. The Jurnal Serunai Bahasa Inggris Vol 13. No. Maret 2021 e-ISSN 2621-010X number of students in X1 32 students and the number of students in X2 32 students. So the total number of sample is 64 students. controls strictly. Internal and external validity is quite intact. The study was an experimental research meant that there is a certain experiment applied to the sample, stated that this design is important because it determines the study's internal validity. The experimental group was the group that received treatment by using GRASP strategy in reading comprehension to achieve students reading comprehension in narrative text while the control group was a group that received a different treatment or usual method without using GRASP strategy. Therefore, the researcher designed two kinds of test, namely pre-test and post-test for two different groups called experimental group and control group. Both of the groups was given pre-test before doing the treatment. In the experimental group, the treatment was given by using GRASP strategy. While in the control group, the treatment was given by learning independent style on the students reading skill. After the treatments, both groups was given the post-test. Creswell . states that population is a group of individuals who have the same The Population of this research is the Eleventh year student of SMK Tamansiswa Binjai 2020/2021. The students in this school are divided into five classes. The Total Population of the Eleventh students in this school is 157 studentAos sample is part of the number and characteristics possessed by the Table 1. The Total Population of the Tenth Grade Students at SMK Taman Siswa Binjai Class Total XI Akutansi XI RPL XI TSM XI TKJ-1 XI TKJ-2 Total Table 2. The Sample of the Tenth Grade Students at SMK Taman Siswa Binjai Class XI RPL (X-. Experiment Class XI TKJ-2 (X-. Control Class Total number of Sample Total There are 64 students become the sample, which are divided into two groups, an experimental group this research is a design of true-experimental research. The independent of the research the using of GRASP strategy in teaching reading comprehension and the dependent variable of the research is students' reading comprehension ability. The control class applied GRASP strategy. The variable of the study in this experimental study are grouped into two Independent Variable (X) is the factor which is measured, manipulated, or selected by experimenter to determine is relationship to observed phenomenon. Dependent Variable (Y) is the factor which is observed and measured to determine the effect of the independent variable (X). There are two variables of the study, namely GRASP Strategy and the students' reading skill. C The Validity of the Test To test the validity of these tests used the correlation formula or formula Pearson Product Moment by Arikunto . 6: . as follows: n Eu XY A AEuXAAEu YA rxy A n EuX 2 A Eu A XA2AAn Eu Y 2 A Eu A YA = Validity of Coefficient N =The sample Eu X = Total score in the experimental class EuY = Total score in the conttolled class Jurnal Serunai Bahasa Inggris Vol 13.

Critical used if rcount>rtable, then the test is considered valid. C The Reliability of the Test Reliability refers to an instrument that can be used as a tool of data information and able to reveal the actual information in the field. The researcher will be use formula from Sudjana . 2: . to calculate the reliability index tests used a formula that is : EuA 2 E n E E E1 A IV. CONCLUSION After the research is done on the eleventh grade students of SMK Tamansiswa Binjai in Academic Year 2020/2021 with the number of sample 64 students divided into 2 classes of which consist of 32 students as control class and 32 students as experiment class. This study uses multiple choice test amounted to 20 questions as a data gathering instrument. The test the hyphotesis based on data that has been obtained, then in accordance with the provisions that have been established that E E n A1E E = many items of EuA = Varinsce Sum At = Variance total i. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS The result of Validity Test for Control Class Price rxy consulted to the critical value tablesAo product moment to N students at 5% significance level. Then it is consulted to the rtable of distribution and in the df . egree of freedo. of 62 : . 1 n2 -. 32 -. Criteria used if rcount>rtable, then the testis considered valid. Based on the above calculation, had calculated rcount is 1. while rtable with a significant level of 5% is 2075 . ee in appendi. So it can be concluded that 1. 740 > 0. 2075, then it means there is correlation between the variables connected or valid. The result of Reliability Test for Control Class . ee in appendi. result of r11= 1. 029, significantly 5% df = 62, the hyphotesis accepted if t0> tt. Has been known t-observed . is higher than the value of t-table . , . o = 7. 24 > tt = 1. Therefore, the hypothesis proposed by the writer is accepted. In other words, using then collected rtable = 0. Then it can be concluded that r11 > rtable = 1. 029 > 0. 2075, it would be declared matter reliable. After calculating the data above, it shows that the critical value is 7. 24 then, it is consulted to the t-table of distribution and in the df . egree of freedo. of 62 : . 1 n2 -. 32 -. Based on the calculation of the data, the critical value or t-observed . is higher than the value of t-table . 0 = 7. 24 > tt = 1. It means that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. In other words, using GRASP Strategy significantly affects on studentsAo reading comprehension by narrative text SMK Tamansiswa Binjai GRASP Strategy significantly effects on students' reading comprehension by narrative text of eleventh grade at SMK Tamansiswa Binjai. Jurnal Serunai Bahasa Inggris Vol 13. No. Maret 2021 e-ISSN 2621-010X SUGGESTIONS From the conclusion stated above, the writer would like to offer some suggestion with the result of this study.
