The population of this study consisted of 60 secondary grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Bogor. The two groups' including pre-post test true experimental design was used in this study. The instrument tools are students' reading score such as pre-test and post-test such as summarizing and responding test; and reading assessment rubric. The result showed that </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">t</span>_{<span style="font-size: small;">-calculated</span>}<span style="font-size: medium;"> is 14.136 </span></em><span style="font-size: medium;">with the value of df is 58 while the result of </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">t</span>_{<span style="font-size: small;">-table</span>}</em><span style="font-size: medium;"> in the level significant </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">t</span>_{<span style="font-size: small;">0.05 </span>}<span style="font-size: medium;">= 1.684</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"> and </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">t</span>_{<span style="font-size: small;">0.01</span>}<span style="font-size: medium;"> = 2.423</span></em><span style="font-size: medium;">. Since the </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">t</span>_{<span style="font-size: small;">-calculated</span>}</em><span style="font-size: medium;"> is higher than t-table <em>(</em>14.136 <em>> 1.624 < 2.423)</em>, it can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (<em>Ha</em>) is accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected.
