  • Based on the writer’s preliminary study, it was found that the students could not comprehend the meaning of texts in their text books at school. This problem was caused by some factors. For example, some students could not understand about the content of reading text and identify the detailed information of the text. So, the writer was interested in carrying out the research about this problem. The research was administered at Islamic Junior High School Ittihadul Muslimin Siak. The subject of the research was the second year students of Islamic Junior High School Ittihadul Muslimin Siak, and the object of this research was the effect of using Reader’s theater Strategy. The design of this research was quasi-experimental research with nonequivalent control group design. The population of this research was all of the second year students. The total number of population was 40 students. Because the number of population was not large, the researcher used total sampling by taking two classes only as sample; class VIII A, consisted of 20 students as an experimental group, and class VIII B which consisted of 20 students as a control group, so the numbers of sample from two classes were 40 students. To analyze the data, the researcher adopted Independent sample T-test formula by using SPSS. Finally, based on the analysis of T-test formula, H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. It means that there was a significant difference of using reader’s theater strategy on reading ability at the second year students of Islamic Junior High School Ittihadul Muslimin Siak.
