The researcher implemented the treatment, which was scientific approach in experimental class, and conventional approach in control class. The findings of the data analysis showed that experimental class answered better on reading comprehension than control class. It is proven by the difference of value mean score in experimental class (85.10) and control class (73.7). It was indicated by the result of independent t-test computation result of post-test score that showed tcount is more than ttable (4.06 ≥ 2.00).
