order.
3) Critical Reading
critical reading is evaluating written materials comparing the ideas discovered in the material with know standard and drawing conclusions about their accuracy, appropriateness, and timeless. In this level the teacher must be an active reader questioning, searching for fact and suspending judgment until he or she has considered all of the materials.
C. Narrative materials
Narrative is simply tell a story or relay a sequence of events. Generally, these events are told in chronological order, that is the order in which they happened. However, a narrative paragraph most often tells a story in order to illustrate or demonstrate a point. Because of this, developing a strong topic sentence is important.
Sarbin (1986: 9) The narrative is a way of organizing episodes, actions, and accounts of actions. It is an achievement that brings together mundane facts and fantastic creations; time and place are incorporated. The narrative allows for the inclusion of actors’ reasons for their acts, as well as the causes of happening.Characteristics of Narrative.
1. Characteristics of Narrative Materials
Ely, S (2010: 2) divides the characteristics of narrative as follow:
a. Use storyline in chronological order (time order)
b. The point is what the writer or character learned from what happened c. Heavy on description, setting, plot and character
d. Easy to visualize
2. Generic Structure of a Narrative Reading
a. Orientation, introduction of the story in which the characters, setting and time of the story are established. Usually answers who? when? where? and it is stated in the beginning of the story.
b. Complication or problem, the complication usually involves the main character(s) (often mirroring the complications in real life).
c. Resolution, there needs to be a resolution of the complication. The complication may be resolved for better or worse/happily or unhappily.
Sometimes there are a number of complications that have to be resolved.
These add and sustain interest and suspense for the reader.
3. The Language Features of The Narrative Text
The classification the features of the narrative text follow:
a. Usually use simple past tense,
b. Using action verb in the story related to the chronologically arranged of the story
c. Using Connectives, linking words to do with time such as once upon a time, on the next day, etc and
d. Using imagery such as metaphor for example "She has a heart of stone"
D. Conceptual Framework
Figure 2.I. Conceptual Framework
In this conceptual framework, the students face problems in learning English. One of the crucial problems was their reading comprehension in narrative materials. Based on the problems above, the researcher Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy to overcome the problems. SRE Strategy is one of good techniques in teaching reading because it gives new feeling for students and makes students active and creative.

INPUT Reading Material: Narrative Text
This learning process can used a pre experimental reasearch. The were two form that was Literal and Interpretive comprehension in narrative materials.
E. Hypothesis
1. Alternative Hypothesis (H1)
The use Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy can improve the students reading comprehension at the Eight Grade of SMPN 3 Galesong Selatan (Takalar).
2. Null Hypothesis (H0)
The use Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy cannot improve the students reading comprehension at the Eight Grade of SMPN 3 Galesong Selatan (Takalar).
The method used in this research was a pre experimental research design with one group pre-test and post-test. This design may also be presented as follows:
O1 X O2
Where:
O1= Pretest O2= Posttest
X = Treatment
(Gay, 1981:225)
B. Research Variables and Indicators
The variables and indicators of the research as follow:
1. Research Variables
There were two variables in this research. The first variable was dependent variable and the second variable was independent variable.
Dependent variable was reading comprehension, while Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) was independent variable.
2. Indicators
a. The indicators of literal reading comprehension were the main ideas and sequence of details.
b. The indicators of interpretative comprehension were prediction and conclusion.
C. Population and Sample 1. Population
The population of this research was the Eight Grade of Junior High School of SMPN 3 Galesong Selatan (Takalar) in the 2016/2017 academic year. This consists of nine classes. Each class consists of 30-35 students. The total numbers of population were 315 students.
2. Sample
The researcher selected class VIII A as the sample using purposive sampling. The reason to choose this class was that the majority of the students’
in the class have problem in using narrative text. As the teacher suggested. The number of students’ in class VIII A were30 students’.
D. Research Instrument
The instrument of the research was a narrative text. Narrative text gave as a pre-test and a post-test. The pre-test used to find out the students’ prior knowledge, while post-test used to find out the students’ achievement at narrative text after gave the treatment by Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy.
The procedure of collecting data involved the following steps:
1. Pre-test
The pre-test gave before doing the treatment. The pre-test used narrative text, to find out the students’ background knowledge ofnarrative text.
2. Treatment
The researcher gave the treatment by Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) Strategy. In this activity, the writer makes some learning process as like that:
a. In the first teaching the teacher open the class.
b. The teacher introduces the material about narrativetext for the students’.
c. The teacher gave the motivation and make the prediction about the text with the students.
d. After that the students silent reading 15-20 minutes.
e. The teacher read the text with the student and discuss it.
f. The teacher explains about the text and gave the some question.
g. And then the teacher asked the students make the conclusion about the text.
h. Teacher gave them evaluation.
i. After that the students silent reading and answer the some question.
3. Pos-test
The post-test gave after doing the treatment. The content of the post-test was the same that of the pre-test. Post-test used the narrative text to find out the student’s achievement at narrative text.
F. Technique of Data Analysis
The data analyzed quantitatively were as follows:
1. Scoring the students answer of pre-test and post-test by using formula.
Score: the total correct answer x 100 maximum number score

2. Calculating the mean score of students by applying the following formula.

Where : X = Mean Score
∑ X= Total Score N = Total Respondent
(Gay, 1981: 298 )
3. Calculating the improvement of the students’ score of pre-test and post-test, the writer used the following formula :
P= x 100
Where : X1 =Mean score of Pre-Test X2 =Mean score of Post-Test
P =Improvement
(Gay, 1981: 298)
t =

Where:
T = Test of Significant
D = The means score
∑ D =The sum of total score of difference
D2 = The square of the sum score of difference N = The total number of students’
(Gay, 1981:366)
After getting the result of t-test value the writer was used t-table to compared there was significant difference or not. To show us interval of the significance on the sample as follows:
If t-test > t-table ………….. There is significant different
t-test< t-table ………….. There is no significant different
For the hypothesis testing, the t-test value was compared with the t-table value at the level of significance p=.0.05 with the degree of freedom df = N-1.
The criteria for the hypothesis testing were as follows:
Table 3.6 Hypothesis testing
Comparison Hypothesis

Rejected Accepted
(Gay, 1981:320) The table above meant (1) the t-test value was smaller than the t-table value, the null hypothesis would be accepted, while the alternative hypothesis was rejected, and (2) the t-test value was equal to greater than the t-table value, the null hypothesis was rejected, while the alternative was accepted.

The data analysis shows the students’ mean score improves from pretest to posttest. The students’ mean score of pretest in main ideas is 49.16 and sequence of details is 45.83. It is classified as poor. However, after applying treatment the students’ literal comprehension improved. It is proved by students’ mean score of posttest in main idea is 81 and sequence of detail is 81.16. It is classified as good. So, the improvement of students’ achievement in literal Comprehension in main ideas is 64.76% and sequence of details is 77.08%. It means that, using Scaffolded is effective to improve students’ literal comprehension in reading.
