The Concepts of Reading Comprehension
Keyword Method .…
It can be concluded that the keywords method is one of the memorization methods that could improve students' reading comprehension by associating keywords with new words, making it easier for students to remember new words. Mnemonic Keyword method is a method where a keyword is used to help the students understand the text and understand the new information. The keyword is a word that sounds like the language that students are familiar with in that word.
The use of the phonics link helps students to remember the new vocabulary as other methods rarely emphasize it.” (Haniatul Ummah, 2018). The key word method, a mnemonic that combines the two words, can be used to learn a wide range of subjects, but is particularly useful for acquiring new vocabulary concepts when, for example, studying another language. The key word method, Levin in McWhorter, is "a mnemonic method that helps students learn new information by associating it with key words." This means that Dehn and Levin have the same thoughts about the definition of the keyword method, that the keyword method is a memorization method that uses a familiar word.
Comprehension is almost impossible if the reader does not know the meaning of a sufficient part of the words. The keyword method allows students to connect new vocabulary words with words that students already know and can easily remember. It can be concluded that because words are the most important thing in communication, listening, speaking, reading and writing are all affected by the development of vocabulary, then by using the keyword method students will be able to easily remember new words by relating them to the words that students already know, students will have an improvement in reading comprehension after students know the average of the words in reading text.
The weakness of keyword method if the keyword chosen by the teacher has no connection with the student's prior knowledge, the student may have even more difficulty in remembering the definition of the term.
Conceptual Framework
It can be said that the weakness of these keywords lies in the mastery of students' vocabulary. If students already know a lot of vocabulary, this will make it easier for them to understand the definition of the new word. Otherwise, if students still lacked vocabulary, students would have difficulty remembering the definitions of the new terms.

The students' reading score on understanding vocabulary in the pre-test (58.50) is lower than the post-test (85.50). In interpretation comprehension (vocabulary comprehension), the mean score for the pre-test was 58.50 and the post-test was 85.50.
