There were some procedures in this research. Three procedures were administered to collect the data as follow:
a. Pre-test
The pre-test is carried out to determine the students’ reading comprehension with their score. The test will be given is in the form of multiple choice and it consist of 25 items. In this test consist 5 text, and each text consist 5 items. Students are given 40 minutes to do the test.
b. Treatment
The treatment is conducted for the experimental class. This use Board Game and it is applied for about four meetings. Each meeting for 45 minutes.
The process of learning in each meeting as follows:
1. Greeting, Praying and Checking Students' attendance list 2. Demonstrating the students about the objectives of study and
giving motivation
3. Teacher divides the class into sub-groups or teams
4. Teacher lets the students to sit each team at its own table.
5. Teacher lets the students lined up in established game play areas.
6. Teacher asks the students to select team names
7. Teacher lets the students to assign roles to play and establish procedures for knowing which team member should respond to a question.
8. Teacher distributes game materials, including game sheets, paper, dice, and something like that.
9. Teacher distributes score sheets, question sheets, and other game materials.
10. Teacher displays game information and player instructions.
The instruction and direction of using monopoly board game, it can be seen in operational concept in chapter 2.
In meeting one, the researcher used topic fairy tales narrative text, the text is about Cinderella. In meeting two the researcher used legend as a topic of narrative text, the title of the text is the Legend of Mount Batur. In the next
meeting researcher used Folklore as a topic, the text entitled Malin Kundang. In the last meeting researcher used Fairy tales, the text entitled Snow White.
c. Post-test
Post-test is complete done. After giving the treatment, the post-test is and analyzed as final data for this research. The test will be given is in the form of multiple choice and it consists of 25 items. Students are given 40 minutes to do the test. In this test consist 5 text, and each text consist 5 items. Students are given 40 minutes to do the test.
G. Validity and Reliability of the Test a. Validity
The amount to which inferences drawn from assessment results are appropriate, meaningful, and useful in terms of the assessment's aim is referred to as validity (Brown, 2003) The test is shown to be valid if it accurately measures the test takers' abilities. A test is valid if it accurately measures what it is designed to measure (Hughes A. , 2005). Validity is the most difficult requirement of an effective test, and possibly the most crucial concept, according to (Brown, 2003), the amount to which inferences drawn from assessment results are acceptable, meaningful, and valuable in terms of the assessment's goal. It means that in order to measure a student's abilities, validity is required.
The extent to which a test measures only what it is designed to assess is known as its validity. In other words, a validity test is used to verify whether or
not a test can be implemented. Using SPSS, the writer tests the question based on the test results to determine whether the query is valid or not.
In this study the researcher will use criterion-related validity because it is the most appropriate form for determining the validity of reading comprehension in narrative text. The material will be used by the researcher based on what they learn. The researcher will try out the test items before administering the test to the sample of this study because the researcher created test materials for this variable and want to know how difficult the exam is. The test will be given is in the form of multiple choice and it consists of 30 items. The students will be gived a test that is not too difficult or not too easy.
According to Arikunto (2009). It signifies that a study instrument is considered valid if it has been tested by experience, such as a tryout. It was established by determining the level of difficulty of each item.
1. If the level of difficulty is between <0.30 and >0.70. It means that an item is rejected
2. If the level of difficulty is between 0.30-0.70, it means that the item is accepted
3. If the level of difficulty is less than 0.30 the item is too difficult 4. If the level of difficulty is over than 0.70 the item is too easy
Finally, the researcher determined the validity by referring to the material that was given to the students based on the students’ text book. In other words, the test given to the students was based on the material that they had learned. To find
out the validity of test, researcher calculated it by using SPSS 26 version. Based on the try out result, it was determined that all of the items were valid. The result of try out is as follows:

1 Item number 1 0.163 Invalid
2 Item number 2 0.106 Invalid
3 Item number 3 0.436 Valid
4 Item number 4 0.363 Invalid
5 Item number 5 0.532 Valid
6 Item number 6 0.518 Valid
7 Item number 7 0.692 Valid
8 Item number 8 0.702 Valid
9 Item number 9 0.475 Valid
10 Item number 10 0.304 Invalid
11 Item number 11 0.745 Valid
12 Item number 12 0.588 Valid
13 Item number 13 0.000 Invalid
14 Item number 14 0.700 Valid
15 Item number 15 0.514 Valid
16 Item number 16 0.529 Valid
17 Item number 17 0.604 Valid
18 Item number 18 0.518 Valid
19 Item number 19 0.595 Valid
20 Item number 20 0.435 Valid
21 Item number 21 0.650 Valid
22 Item number 22 0.752 Valid
23 Item number 23 0.464 Valid
24 Item number 24 0.650 Valid
25 Item number 25 0.689 Valid
26 Item number 26 0.400 Valid
27 Item number 27 0.778 Valid
28 Item number 28 0.713 Valid
29 Item number 29 0.652 Valid
30 Item number 30 0.701 Valid
Based on the table above there are 25 items are valid and 5 items are invalid. However, the researcher used 25 valid items to examine the students in pre-test and post-test on experimental class and control class.
b. Reliability
Brown (2003) defined a reliable test as one that is consistent and dependable so that the results can be measured. In this study, the researcher assesses the test's reliability by looking at rater dependability, specifically inter-rater reliability. There will be two inter-raters, each of whom will assign a different score. The researcher utilized the SPSS tool to calculate the dependability. The reliability test categories used to determine the accuracy of the questionaire are listed in the table below.
Table III.5
The Table of Acceptable Reliability
NO Reliability Validity
1. >0.90 Very high
2. 0.80-0.90 High
3. 0.70-0.79 Reliable
4. 0.60-0.69 Marginally
5. <0.60 Unacceptable low
(Cohen, Manion & Morison, 2007)
To obtain the reliability of the test given, the writer used SPSS 26.0 to find out whether the test is reliable or not.
