Key words: Reading Ability, Two Stay Two Stray
Reading is one of four skills in English. Reading is taught more often than the other language skills Most English test such as in the summative test, mid test or formative test is in the form of readings. Even though reading is `dominant in English classroom, the result of students’ reading text is still unsatisfactory and many students fail. In this case the teacher should use appropriate method or strategy to make the students more interest and active in the classroom. Two stay Two Stray is one of strategy that can be used by the teacher in teaching English. It hopefully can improve the students’ reading ability.
The objective of the research is to know whether there is a significant difference between the ability of reading recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Two Stay Two Stray.

ABSTRAK
Ulfah, Maria. 2013. Kemampuan Membaca Teks Recount Siswa Kelas Delapan MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2013/2014 Diajarkan dengan Menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray. Skripsi. Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd (ii) Nuraeningsih, S.Pd, M.Pd
Kata Kunci: Kemampuan membaca, Two Stay Two Stray.
Membaca merupakan salah satu dari empat kemampuan yang diajarkan dalam bahasa Inggris. Kemampuan membaca merupakan kemampuan yang lebih banyak diajarkan dibandingkan dengan kemampuan berbahasa yang lainnya.. Kebanyakan dari tes bahasa Inggris seperti tes sumatif, tes mid ataupun tes formatif adalah berbentuk bacaan. Meskipun kegiatan membaca sering diajarkan di ruang kelas bahasa Inggris, hasil penilaian terhadap kemampuan siswa dalam membaca teks masih kurang dan mereka dinyatakan gagal. Oleh sebab itu, guru seharusnya menggunakan metode atau strategi yang sesuai untuk membuat siswa lebih tertarik dan aktif dikelas. Two stay Two Stray merupakan salah satu strategi yang dapat digunakan guru dalam mengajarkan bahasa Inggris. Strategi tersebut diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kemampuan membaca siswa.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kemampuan membaca teks recount siswa kelas VIII MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus pada tahun akademik 2013/2014 yang diajar dengan tanpa menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray dan mereka yang diajar dengan menggunakan Two Stay Two Stray.
Rancangan penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen. Penulis menggunakan satu grup dengan memberikan pre-tes dan post-tes. Populasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII MTs Nurul Huda Kaliwungu Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014 pada semester pertama. Penulis mengambil kelas VIII E sebagai sampel. Penulis menggunakan teks recount sebagai materi penelitian. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes tertulis (pilihan ganda).
diterima, ini dapat dilihat dari perhitungan t-tes pada tingkat signifikansi 0.05 dan derajat kebebasan 35 yang menunjukkan bahwa t tabel 2.04 dan t observasi 13.04. hasilnya adalah to > tt ( t observasi lebih besar dari pada t tabel), sehingga t observasi jatuh padadaerah kritis.
