Abstrak

Reading is one of the most important academic taskd faced by students. The students of the eighth grade students of SMP N 5 Kudus have less reading ability. Difficulties in reading are usually attributable to one or more factors. The first factor is the lack of students’ interest. Most of them do not like reading assigments. It may be caused by reading is long and boring. The second is the lack of the students’ concentrentration. They have difficulties to find out the topic or main idea and even information of text. Students can become easily frustrated when they do not understand what they are reading. The last factor is inappropriate strategy used in teaching reading. Considering that reasons, I want to apply PQ4R as strategy to improve students’ reading ability. The objective of the research is to find out whether there is any significant difference of the reading ability of the eighth grade students of SMP N 5 Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using PQ4R Strategy. The writer uses cluster random sampling technique in taking the sample of the research. The writer gets VIII B as the sample of the research. There are 34 students. The design of this research was experimental research. The writer uses one group pre-test and post-test. After conducting the treatment of reading ability of the eighth grade students of SMP N 5 Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 taught by using PQ4R Strategy, The result of the experiment can be seen that the calculation of t-test, with the level of significance 0.05, the Degree of Freedom (Df) is 33, and t-table (tt) 2.04, the t- obtained (to) 4.33. In the other words, t-obtained is higher than t-table. The reading ability of the eighth grade students of SMP N 5 Kudus after being taught by using PQ4R Strategy is “good”. It is showed by the mean is 79.3 and the standard deviation is 8.4. It is higher than the mean of the reading ability of the eighth grade students of SMP N 5 Kudus before being taught by using PQ4R Strategy in academic year 2013/2014 which the mean 68.9 and standard deviation is 10. It is categorized as “sufficient”. It means that the Null Hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is confirmed. Based on the result of the research above, I suggest that the teacher should give an interesting material to avoid the students’ boredom and use an interesting strategy to make the student enjoyable like PQ4R.
