research, the writer used two instruments; a questionnaire and a test. The writer gave a questionnaire in order to get the data about students’ learning style and a
test to get the data about students’ reading comprehension of narrative text. In the
questionnaire, there were 30 statements and used the Likert Scale to answer the statement. Then, the test was carried out to get the students’ reading
comprehension score. There were 25 questions and four options A, B, C, and D to answer these questions.Those scores were described and analyzed. The
description included mean, mode, median, range, minimum and maximum score, and standard deviation. If students’ learning style was independent variable and
their reading comprehension was dependent variable, the summary of the data can be seen as follows:
