- This study focuses on how discovery-inquiry method can improve students reading comprehension in descriptive text. This method is applied, because the students‟ average scores are lower than standard score (KKM) in school. KKM in the school is 75, and their average scores are 50. Discovery-inquiry method serves cognitive learning as its strategy. It means that the students‟ activeness during learning is more important than their test results. In its implementation, discovery-inquiry method has six steps. They are stimulation, problem statement, data collection, data processing, verification, and generalization The research uses Classroom Action Research that has four steps in its implementation. They are plans, action, observation, and reflection. The subject of the research is the students in eighth grade in SMPI Al-Wutsqo which the total number of students is fifteen. The data was collected by qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data was collected by observing their activity during learning activity, and quantitative data was collected by giving them the test about learning material. The research finished the research in two cycles, which in every cycle has two meetings. In the first cycle, the researcher found that the students‟ average scores improved to 74, which it is still below KKM. But in the second cycle, their scores achieved into 81.33. From observation results, the researcher found that there was an improvement in every meeting. It can be concluded that discovery-inquiry method can improve the students‟ comprehension in reading descriptive text.
