The instrument of this research was reading test in multiple choice test form.
It was valid because the students have learnt the material.
Then, the instrument was reliable because the result of split-half was 0.
gave positive association.
To get the data, the researcher used the t-test formula that suggested by Gay and Airasian.
The result of the research was analyzed by t-test formula and the researcher got t-calculated was 8.
After that, the researcher compared to t-table Where the level of significant was 0.
05 with degree of freedom was 43.
After analyzing the data, the researcher got t-count higher than t-table.
So, the null hypothesis (H.
was rejected and alternative hypothesis (H.

INTRODUCTION
Reading is one of important skill in the learning English.
Reading is a process to get information.
By reading, student can get new idea or information from text which they Reading is useful for adding knowledge of the students.

The student success in learning reading depends on how the teacher teach in the class.
There are many definitions of reading that have been defined by experts.

: 93-104 it can refer of teaching learners who are learning to read for the first time.
A second aspect of teaching reading refers to teaching learners who already have reading skills in their first language.
It means from Nunan, there are two aspects in teaching reading, it is how to teach reading for the first time and second, how they use the lesson to be their Then.

teaching reading is how to derive meaning as well as analyze and synthesize what they have read is an essential part of the reading process.
It means that in teaching reading teacher must derive meaning what they read to the student in learning Next, according to Patel and Jain .
, teaching reading is very important skill because this is the stage where the knowledge of learners starts to fight.
The selection of reading material should be authentic.
The teachers can make their teaching reading effective by .
Teacher should talk about the topic first to the learners.
He should motivate Teacher should not read first but he should allow the student to read the text.
Teacher should not allow the student to mumming while reading.
The subject matter should be interested and affective and selected from the reading material developed for .
Eclectic approach can be used by teacher for better comprehension and In fact, the researcher had found some problems in reading when the practice teaching in SMP N 02 Kec.
Luak.
First it is from teachers.
The teacher can not develop his or her ability and creativity to use variouse strategy.
The teacher still do not use the interesting strategy in teaching reading, and also the classroom management still low when they teach.
If the teacher use the interesting strategy, the students will be interest to learning reading.
The students will have motivations in reading.
Second, itfrom the EDULIA: English Education.
Linguistic and Art Journal 3.
: 93-104 They can not read the text with good spelling.
Then, when they read, they do not know how to get the meaning from the text.
The students also do not interested in reading it is because they lack of vocabulary and grammar.
These strategies can imporove studentsAo reading ability and student comprehension.
Acording to Crawford et al .
stated some strategies in teaching reading.
There are .
Know/Want to know/learn (KWL) Strategy, the KWL activity can be used to structure a whole lesson, raise question about it, and find answers to those questions.
Paired reading/ Paired Summarizing, paired reading/ Paired Summarizing is a technique for having pairs of students read a text closely for understandings.
Question Board, a Question Board is simply a site for posting questions that grow from class discussion.
It might be a section of the chalk board, or it could be newsprint that students would be free to write on when a question comes to Its purpose is to be available for students to write any questions they have as they:
participate in class discussions, do independent or assigned reading, write, experiment, engage in other class activities.
Next, acordingto Tovani .
state some strategy such as:
Asking AuSo What?Ay Reading Strategy Asking AuSo What?Ay is agenerally effective classroomquestioning technique that works bestwith the reading of analytical prose,magazine articles, and textbookpassages.
Lay it Out Lay it Out is This strategy involves keeping track ofthe key points in a text and the reasonsand/or evidence given to support them.

When readers ask questions, theircomprehension improves.
Studentsbenefit from prompts to help themgenerate their own questions andteachersAo modeling to show how it is done.

RESEARCH METHOD
The design of this research was experimental research.
Then, the researcher used the post-test control class design.

There were 23 students in an experimental class and 22 students in control class.
Both of the classes taught by the same material curriculum and time allocation.
After that, the calculation results of the studentsAo score of both groups were presented in the following table.

From the table above, it can be explained that both of the classes have the different students, which were 23 students in experimental class and 22 students in control class.
Then, it was found that the total score of experimental class was 1855, while the control class was 1385.
After that, the mean score of experimental class was and control class was the data was analyzed by using t-test formula.
Then, based on the data, researcher 38 for t-calculated where t-table was 2.

It can said the t-calculated higher than the t-table.
After calculating the data, it found that the experimental class mean score was 65, meanwhile the control class mean score was 62.
95 So, the mean score of experimental class was higher than control class.
Furthermore, it was tested again by ttest formula, in which the value of t-calculated was 3.

DISCUSSION
After doing the research eight meetings for each class, the researcher found that alternative hypothesis in this reseach was accepted.
It means that H1 was accepted.
It was proven by comparing t-calculated ( 8.

So, it can be said that teaching reading by using (Read, cover.

When they retell of the text that improved their speaking, also they listened to the partnerAo retelling.
The strategy can give good influence to the students in learning reading, because by using this strategy, studentsAo score was higher than the studentsAo that taught by conventional strategy which was mean score of students in experimental class 80.
