CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS
A. Data Description
After conducting the research, the writer obtained the data. There was post-test score for each class. The experimental class and the controlled class were
taught with different technique in teaching reading. The experimental class was taught using the pre-reading activity, whereas the controlled class used
conventional technique. In the experimental class, the writer applied pre-reading activity. The
students were brainstormed by questioning and viewing the pictures related to the text. The score of reading comprehension test of each group can be seen in the
tables for data analysis as follow:
1. Experimental Class
In the experimental class the writer gave the test. The result of the test as follow:

To describe the significant of the result, the writer includes chart of the test result between pre-test and post-test in experimental class, as follow:
Chart 4.1.1 The Score Pre-Test and Post-Test of Experimental Class
Based on the table 4.1, the highest score for the experimental class was 85; there are four students who got the highest score. The lowest score for
experimental class is 55; there are two students who have the lowest score. The differences score obtained the highest score which showed the improving of score,
that is 25, 20, 5, 10. There is no difference score obtained which showed for the lowest score. It can be concluded that there was significant differences in teaching
recount text using pre-reading activity.

To describe the significant of the result, the writer includes chart of the test result between pre-test and post-test in controlled class, as follow:
Chart 4.2.1 The Score Pre-Test and Post-Test of Controlled Class
The highest score for the controlled class is 85; there is one student who got the highest score. The lowest score for controlled class is 45; there is one
student who has the lowest score. The total of controlled class is 1160. From the differences between table 4.1 and 4.2 above, it showed that the
experimental class is higher than the controlled class in the posttest result, which the total experimental class score 1460 is higher than the total of controlled class,
1160. It can be concluded that there was a positive influence of using pre-reading activities toward students‟ reading skill.
