There are two research question in this research, 1) Does cognitive strategy training help the students in improving their reading comprehension? 2) What are the processes of cognitive strategy training in improving students‘ reading comprehension. This research focuses on four kinds of cognitive strategy (practicing, receiving and sending messages, analysing and reasoning, and creating structure for input and output) based on oxford 1990. The research used quasi-experimental design using quantitative approach. It was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Rebang Tangkas, Way Kanan. There were 30 students for experimental class and control class as the sample. The data were collected through pretest, treatment and posttest: they were analysed quantitatively. The mean score of pretest and posttest of experimental were 59.00 and 76.73 and for control class were 50.93 and 60.13. The first result showed there was a positive effect of the students‘ reading comprehension after the students‘ were trained by using cognitive strategy training (p<0.05; p=0.000). Furthermore, the second result from the process of cognitive strategy training in the treatment session showed that the students could follow the process of cognitive strategy training. They could also apply cognitive strategies during the training process. Keywords: cognitive strategies, reading comprehension
