Improving Students' Reading Comprehension through SQ3R Method at 12th Grade of SMAN 4 Tanjungpinang
Keywords:
SQ3R Method, Reading Comprehension, Classroom Action ResearchAbstract
This study focuses on improving reading comprehension among 12th-grade students at SMAN 4 Tanjungpinang using the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) method. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in one cycle with three meetings, involving 35 students as participants. Challenges in students' reading comprehension were identified, such as difficulty determining main ideas, limited vocabulary, and struggles with textual understanding. The implementation of the SQ3R method led to significant improvements in students' reading comprehension. The mean test scores increased from 66.71 in the preliminary study to 86 in the post-test, with 89% of students achieving scores above the Minimum Mastery Criteria (78). The structured approach of the SQ3R method enabled students to engage actively, think critically, and retain material more effectively. These findings highlight the potential of the SQ3R method as an instructional strategy to enhance reading comprehension in English learning.
