In collecting the data, both pre-test and post-test of recount text reading comprehension were administered. The results of students’ achievement in these two tests were used as the primary data of this research work. In analyzing the data, statistical analysis of paired sample t-test was used. The results of the analysis revealed that the average pre-test score reached by the students was 55.44, while in the post-test was 79.81. Besides, statistical computation indicated that t-cal > t-table (t-count = 2.204 > t-table = 2.026) in the significance level of 0.05 (5%).
