Furthermore, Garry Woolley states that reading comprehension is the process of creating meaning from text.9 Understanding reading is the ability to understand what is read. From the definition above, it is concluded that reading comprehension is a reading activity that is performed to understand the content of the reading as a whole.
Concept of Intra-Act Strategy
- Definition of Intra-Act Strategy
- The Benefit of Intra-Act Strategy
- Advantages and Disadvantages of Intra-Act Strategy
- The Implementation of Intra-Act Strategy
Intra act strategy is very beneficial for students when the reading material is quite difficult.21. The implementation of the Intra-Act strategy can be carried out by a number of following steps as follows:23.
Action Hypothesis
An independent variable is a variable that is assumed to have an effect on another variable (a dependent variable). strategy. The subject of this action research is the students of X IPA 3 in SMAN 1 Batanghari, they consist of 27 students. The object of this research is the reading comprehension ability of tenth grade students in SMAN 1 Batanghari. The team leader is then encouraged to remind others to contribute to the discussion. d) The third step is evaluation.
Then the researcher also asked the team leader group 4 and group 5, Vona and Viona also answered "the summary of the text, formalin is a very dangerous mist, because flies and other insects just don't want to land on foods that contain formaldehyde". Then the students have to decide whether they agree with each statement or not. The first must write their group name one, two or three and who the team leader is. After that, the researcher appoints a team leader. The team leader in group 1 is Abel, group 2 is Abi, group 3 is Heni, group 4 is Rachel and group 5 is Septi.
After the team leader explained what they got from the text, the next step would be the students taking turns sharing their opinion and views from the text. The researcher has several questions on the board such as "reading is important. Based on the result above, the researcher says indicated that the learning process in cycle II was successful because the students' “We help reduce the amount of global warming" (paragraph 2) The word reduce can be replaced by.

Action Plan
Based on the statement above, the researcher can say that classroom action research is one of the efforts made by the teacher to improve the quality of learning in a learning process by using or combining new methods, techniques or strategies. In this phase, the researcher acts as the teacher and the actual teacher becomes the observer.
Data Collecting Technique
The pre-test of this research will be in the form of a multiple-choice reading comprehension test that requires students to choose the correct answer. The post-test of this research will be in the form of a multiple-choice reading comprehension test that requires students to select the correct answer.
Data Collecting Instrument
In this research, the researcher will use field notes to focus on a particular issue or teaching behavior over a period of time. Furthermore, the researcher will take field notes related to the classroom situation, classroom management, classroom interaction between teacher and students or students with students and etc.
Data Analysis Technique
If from cycle 1, there are some unsuccessful students, so the researcher would conduct cycle II. The minimum cycle in CAR is two cycles if from cycle II the students have been successful, the cycle can only be stopped until cycle II.
Indicator of success
Moreover, to know the result, the researcher would compare between pre-test and post-test. Based on the result of the observation sheet in cycle II, the researcher showed that the learning process in cycle II was successful.
RESULT OF THE RESEARCH
Research Setting
Then the researcher asked team leader group 2 and Cindy replied "so miss, the summary of the text, breakfast can improve the health of the digestive system". Then the researcher asked group 3 team leader and Ilfina replied "breakfast can improve memory and concentration levels". After they discuss using the questions on the board, the researcher divides the.
The researcher also planned to provide an evaluation to measure the students' mastery over the materials given. The researcher began to greet the class, pray, check the attendance list, and ask the students' condition. Then the researcher asked team leader group 2 and Gita replied "so miss, the summary of the text, smoking in restaurant is harmful to others".
The researcher began to greet the class, pray, check the attendance list, and ask the students' condition.

It could be seen that the grade of the students in post-test II was different. The comparison of pre-test, post-test I in cycle I and post-test II in cycle II.
The frequency of students' pre-test, post-test I grade in cycle I and post-test II grade in cycle II. The percentage of students in pre-test, post-test I in cycle I and post-test II in cycle I. It is supported by improving the grade of students from pre-test to post-test I and from post-test I to posttest II.
There was significant improvement in students' learning product from pre-test to post-test II.
The Result Of Students Learning
Comparison Of Score In Pre-Test, Post-Test I In Cycle I,
The Result Of Students‟ Learning Activities In Cycle I
The students' learning activity data were obtained from all the students' learning activities on observation sheets. Students' attention to the teacher's explanation improved from the first session to the next session. b) To ask/answer questions from the teacher. The students who asked/answered questions from the teacher improved from the first meeting to the next meeting.
Based on the result of the preliminary study, it can be inferred that there was an improvement in the average grade and the total of the students who passed the test from pretest, posttest I to posttest II. From the explanation, the researcher concluded that the research was successful and that it could be stopped in cycle II because the indicator of success 70% of students scored 70 was achieved.
Discussion
Moreover, in post-test I there were 17 students or (63%) passed the test, indicating that students get a grade >70 with an average of 66. Meanwhile, in post-test II there were 21 students or (78%) passed it. test the indicator that the students get a grade>70 with an average of 73. From the explanation, the researcher concludes that the research is successful and can be stopped in cycle II because the success indicator has been reached 70% of the students got a grade>70.
This could be seen in the average percentage of learning activity in cycle I was 59% and the average percentage of learning activity in cycle II was 77%. It is suggested to the students to be more active in the learning process in the class and increase their skill in reading comprehension so that they can achieve success in learning English. Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world like Science, technology.
