As the finding result shows in pre - test to post - test mean of experiment al class ( 55.01 to 79.58 ). T he result of the t o is = 3.81 and the degree of freedom (df) = 68 , the result of t t on level significance 5% = 1.99 and 1% = 2.65 so t o > t t or ( 1.99 < 3.81 > 2 . 65 ). It means that the hypothesis of the research is accepted, or there is a significant influence of using the 3 - 2 - 1 strategy on students’ reading comprehension ability on report te xt .
