The data analysis from the independent t-test showed that there was significant difference in the result of post-test means between experimental and control groups. It showed that the score of the experimental group (M=76,53) was higher than control group (M=59,61). Furthermore, based on the result of the dependent t-test showed that tobt was greater than tcrit (11,889 > 2,060) at the level of significance 0,05 indicating that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. It means that there was significant difference between students' pre-test and post-test of experimental group after the treatments. Moreover, the result of correlation value of effect sized was at the level of large and it indicated that Reciprocal Teaching Strategy gave large influence in improving students' reading comprehension. So that it can be stated that Reciprocal Teaching Strategy can improve students' reading comprehension. Finally, the findings from the questionnaire showed that most students gave positive responses toward this method.
