The population of its research is eighth-grade students, and two classes were selected as samples experimental class (treatment) and controlled class. This experimental study used reading tests as instruments to get the data. The test was formatted into multiple-choice items, consisting of pre-test and post-test. The researchers used the pre-test, treatment, and post-test techniques to collect the data. But in the control class, no treatment was applied to mastering reading skills. There was a significant effect in the treatment class than in the control class. It was proven by the effect size’s score of medium effect showed .5 deviation.
