FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
Findings
After consideration in the pretest, the percentage of students' reading tests performed fairly well in predicting the outcomes of 5 students (16.67%). The table above shows that the percentage of the student's reading test at the end was 5 students (16.66%) scored fairly well. This is evidenced by the student's mean posttest score on Main Idea 81 and Sequence of Details 81.16.
Thus, the improvement of students' performance in literal Comprehension in main ideas is 64.76% and sequence of details is 77.08%. This is proven by students' average score in post-test of prediction of outcomes is 79 and draw conclusion is 80. Thus, the improvement of students' performance in literal understanding of prediction of outcomes is 58% and draw conclusion is 69.14%.
However, after treatment, the students' score in the literal sentence posttest improves to 81 for the main idea and 81.16 for the sequence of details. Using Scaffolded is effective for improving students' reading comprehension, especially at literal and interpretive levels.
