The use of shared reading strategy was used in the experimental group, while traditional method was implemented in the control group. The data were taken from pre-test, post-test and questionnaire. Then, t-test calculation was used to compare the scores of experimental class and control class. Furthermore, the data from questionnaire will be analyzed to describe students’ perspectives more detail toward the shared reading strategy as a learning strategy and its application in the classroom activities. In the posttest, the mean of the experimental group is 82.38, while the mean of control class is 68.88, and the t-test shows that the significant value (sig. 2-tailed) is 0.000 that is lower than the alpha level 0.05. It means that after the treatment, both classes were different in terms of reading comprehension and vocabulary score statistically.  Experimental class tended to have better scores than control class. In addition, the data of the questionnaire showed positive responses to the use of shared reading strategy in teaching and learning activities. In summary, based on the result of the research, it was proven that to some extents shared reading strategy is effective to develop students’ ability in enhancing reading comprehension and mastering vocabularies in narrative text.
