researcher. To solve this problem the researcher was helped by the English teacher of SMP Islam Gumukmas to make group that were based
on students’ academic score. The students were put into a group of four, based on the result of homogeneity test.

effective for students because the students have a lack of activities. The students did not always understand well the meaning of the reading text, and they spent a long
time to read the text which mostly done word by word. Consequently, they were not answering all the comprehension questions correctly in a given time.
