Adapted from Ali, 1993:186 Based on Table 4.1 above, it was found out that the mean score of the
students’ reading comprehension test was 74,7 and the percentage of the students gaining the score of at least 75 on reading comprehension test was 66 . In this
research, the action was considered to be successful if 75 of the total students achieved the minimum standard score that was 75 of the reading test. In fact, there
was only 66 or 18 students who could achieve the target while the rest, 34 or 9 students, could not achieve the target score. In conclusion, the action in Cycle 1 was
not fully successful yet. Therefore, it was necessary for the researcher to continue the action to Cycle 2 by revising some weak aspects related to the use of SQ3R strategy
in reading narrative learning process.
