Table 4.1 shows the students’ initial names in experimental class, their
pretest scores, their posttest scores and their gained scores. Based on the result of pretest in experimental class, it can be showed the highest score and the lowest
score of 38 students in the experimental class. In pretest, it can be seen the highest score was 76 and the lowest score was 24. The mean score of the pretest was
51.74. After pretest was conducted, treatment was given to the experimental
class. The students of the experimental class were given Directed Reading –
Thinking Activity DR-TA strategy in learning narrative reading. After giving the treatment four times, posttest was given to the students. In posttest, it can be seen
that the mean score of posttest was improved and it was 68.74. Furthermore, the mean of gained score was 17.00. The highest score of posttest was 88 and the
lowest score in posttest was 48 obtained only by one student. It can be concluded that there was positive influence of using DR-TA strategy for students to learn

Table 4.2 shows the students’ initial names in controlled class, their pretest scores, their posttest scores and their gained scores. Based on the result of pretest
in controlled class, it can be showed the highest score and the lowest score of 38 students in the controlled class. In pretest, the highest score was 76 obtained only
by one student and the lowest score was 36. The mean score of pretest was 52.74. It was higher than the experimental class.
In posttest, it can be seen that the mean score of posttest was improved and it was 60.95 and the mean gained score was 8.21. Those are lower than posttest
mean score in experimental class. Meanwhile, the highest score of posttest was 88 obtained only by one student and the lowest score in posttest was 40 obtained by
one student too. Moreover, there were six students who had the higher pretest scores rather than their posttest scores. It can be concluded that there was still
improvement of the students’ achievement in learning narrative text although they were not taught by using DR-TA strategy.
