Instrument reading comprehension was given to experiment class after it class was given by treatment SQ4R technique. The instrument is multiple choice. Then researcher do normality and also homogeinity test. Students’reading comprehension use SQ4R technique get score mean = 85.70; median = 86.50; variance = 20.236, students’ reading comprehension use conventional learning mean = 68.60; median = 69.50; variance = 41.200. There is significant effect (SQ4R) technique on students’ reading comprehension. It can be known that t-score was 16.884 and sig = 0.000 < 0.05. It shown that SQ4R technique give effects to increase students’ ability in reading comprehension.
