The power of two is one of the teaching strategies that can be used in teaching reading to develop the students’ reading skill. Therefore, the researcher applies the power of two strategy for the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Ulum Welahan Jepara in the academic year 2011/2012 to develop their reading comprehension of recount text because they confused in understanding it. The objective of the research is to find out whether there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension of recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Ulum Welahan Jepara in the academic year 2011/2012 taught with and without using the power of two as a strategy. The design of this research is experimental research. It is done at the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Ulum Welahan Jepara in the academic year 2011/2012. The researcher took VIII B as the experimental group (25 students) and VIII A as the control group (25 students) as the sample by using cluster random sampling. The experimental group taught with the power of two strategy and the control group taught without the power of two strategy. After they were taught during four meetings they did post test to compare the result. The result of the research showed that there is significantly progress for the students in the reading comprehension of recount text taught with the power of two strategy. It can be proved the differences of the mean score of post test in the experimental group and control group. The experimental group that is taught with the power of two strategy has the mean score 86.92 and the standard deviation7.43. From the data showed that the reading comprehension of recount text taught with the power of two as a strategy is categorized as excellent. However, the mean score of control group who taught without the power of two as a strategy is 76.36 and the standard deviation is 10.64. From this data, the reading comprehension of recount text taught without the power of two is categorized as good. So, the calculation of t-observation of score is higher than t-table (to = 4.08 > tt = 2.00). It means that there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension of recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Ulum Welahan Jepara in the academic year 2011/2012 taught with and without using the power of two as a strategy. Based on the result above, it means that the power of two strategy works well to develop student’s reading comprehension.

Rancangan penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada siswa kelas VIII MTs Nurul Ulum Welahan Jepara pada tahun ajaran 2011/2012. Peneliti mengambil kelas VIII B (25 siswa) sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan kelas VIII A (25 siswa) sebagai kelompok kontrol sebagai sample dengan menggunakan cluster random sampling. Kelompok eksperimen diajar dengan strategi the power of two dan kelompok kontrol diajar tanpa menggunakan strategi the power of two. Setelah mereka diajar selama empat pertemuan mereka mengerjakan post test untuk membandingkan hasil tersebut. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada kemajuan secara signifikan pada siswa dalam pemahaman membaca teks recount yang diajar dengan strategi the power of two. Hal ini dapat dibuktikan dengan nilai rata-rata dari post test di kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok control. Kelompok eksperimen yang diajar menggunakan strategi the power of two mempunyai nilai rata-rata 86.92 dan simpangan baku 7.43. Dari data itu menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan pemahaman membaca recount yang diajar dengan strategi the power of two dikategorikan sangat baik. Tetapi, nilai rata-rata kelompok control yang diajar tanpa menggunakan stategi the power of two adalah 76.36 dan simpangan baku 10.64. Dari data itu, kemampuan pemahaman membaca teks recount yang diajar tanpa menggunakan strategi the power of two dikategorikan cukup. Sehingga, perhitungan dari t-observasi lebih tinggi pada t-table (to = 4.08 > tt = 2.00). Ini berarti bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara pemahaman membaca teks recount siswa kelas VIII MTs Nurul Ulum Welahan Jepara pada tahun ajaran 2011/2012 yang diajar dengan the power of two dan tanpa menggunakan the power of two sebagai sebuah strategi.
