Abstract
The design of this research was Quasi- Experimental Research. The
population of this research was all of the second year students. The
research was administered at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru. The subject was
the second year students at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru, and the object of this
research was the effect of Sequencing Strategy toward students reading
comprehension. The total number of population was 44 students.
Because the number of population was small, the writer used total
sampling, by taking XI IPA as experiment class and XI IPS as control class.
To analyze the data, the writer adopted independent sample t-test formula
by using software SPSS 16. After analyzing the data, the writer found that
thre is significant effect of Sequencing Strategy toward students reading
comprehension of the second year students at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru,
where T shows 4.629 at significant level 5% it shows 2.02, and at level of
1%, it shows 2.72. Thus, null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, and alternative
hypothesis (Ha) is accepted which shows 2.02< 4.629> 2.72.
the reader not only reads the words, sentences, paragraphs, and texts but
also should comprehend what the content of reading is.
Based on the writers observation on July 2012 in MA Hasanah
Pekanbaru, the students in MA Hasanah Pekanbaru have difficulties in
comprehending reading text. The students ability in reading is still far
from the curriculum expectation. It is seen from some phenomenon, some
of the students have difficulties in finding factual information on report
text, some of the students have difficulties finding the main idea on report
text, some of the students have limited vocabularies which cause
difficulties in understanding report text, some of the students have
difficulties in identifying reference on report text, some of the students
have difficulties in identifying inference on report text.
From the phenomena above, increasing students reading
comprehension needs an appropriate strategy to solve the students
problems. In this case, the writer wants to apply a strategy that will help
the students to increase their ability in reading. The name of that strategy
is Sequencing Strategy. Sequencing strategy is the process of putting
story events in the order in which they occurred. Teacher may recognize
this concept as order of event. This strategy help students begin to
understand how the events in a story are recognized, and the importance
that order has on a text. This strategy is support comprehension of
sequence by ordering segments of text into one coherent piece of writing.
Learners reflect on and thereby identify the processes which they used to
reach the end product.
Method
Design
This research is a kind of quasi experimental research type Nonequivalent Control Group Design. This research which is aimed to search
whether there is or there is no difference of treatment which is done to the
experimental subject with random assignment (Cresswell, 2008).
In this research, the writer used two classes to be samples, namely
experimental group and control group. The experimental group is taught
by particular treatment (Sequencing Strategy) to improve their reading
comprehension while control group was only given a pre-test and post-test
without particular treatment as is given to experimental group. These
groups used different strategies, but both experimental and control groups
were tested with the same test. Sukardi (2010) stated the design of this
research can be illustrated as follows:

Material
Before the tests were given to the sample of this research, both of the tests were tried
out to 22 students of the second year students in the social program. The purpose of the try
out was to obtain validity and reliability of the test. Hughes (2003) stated that the test is said
to be valid if it measures accurately what it is intended to measure. It was determined by
finding the difficulty level of each item. According to Arikunto (1997) the formula of item
difficulty is as follows:
The standard level of difficulty used is <0.30 and > 0.70. It means that an item is
accepted if the level of difficulty is between 0,30-0,70 and it is rejected if the level of
difficulty is less than 0,30 ( the item is too difficult) and over than 0,70 (the item is too easy).
The proportion of correct is represented by p, whereas the proportion of incorrect is
represented by q.

Reliability is a necessary characteristic of good test. Riduwan (2012) reported that
reliability refers to be extend to which the test is consistent in its score and it gives us an
12
indication of how accurate the test scores are. It is clear that reliability is used to measure the
quality of the test scores and the consistency of the test.
Calculation of reliability uses various kinds of formula. They are Spearman-Brown
formula, Flanagan formula, Rulon formula, Hoyt formula, Alfa formula, Kuder Richadson 20
formula and Kuder Richadson 21 formula (Riduwan, 2010). From all of these formulas, the
writer then used the Hoyt Formula to calculate the reliability of the test. The formula is as
follows:
r 11
( VsVr )
r 11
: Instrument reliability
Vs
: Variance of remains
Vr
: Variance of Respondents
Calculation of reliability used the Hoyt Formula to calculate the reliability of the test.
The formula is as follows:
r 11
( VsVr )
: 0.76

Result
To determine the students reading comprehension who are
taught by using Sequencing Strategy and the students who are not
taught by using Sequencing Strategy, the writer took the data from the
result of post-test from both classes. The data were obtained by using
SPSS 16. The data of mean, median and standard deviation from the
post-test of experimental class and control class can be seen from the
following table:

Then, the mean of post-test from experimental and control class are
classified in order to determine the category of the students reading
comprehension. The mean of post-test of experimental class is 78.36. It
means the students reading comprehension that is taught by using
Sequencing Strategy is categorized into Good level. While for the Mean
of post-test of control class is 64.73. It means that the students reading

To determine the data analysis of differences of the students
reading comprehension in report text between the students that are not
taught and those who are taught by using Sequencing Strategy, the writer
then used t-test by using SPSS 16. The data of t-test can be seen from the

Students Reading Comprehension in Control Class
There were 25 items of reading comprehension test given to the
respondents in this research. From pre-test of control class, the highest
score was 72 and the lowest score was 44. Then for the post-test of the control
class, there were also 25 items of reading comprehension. From the post-test, the highest
score of control group was 80 and the lowest score was 48.
The writer also classifies the post-test result of control class of the respondents of the
second year at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru, to know the category of the students reading
comprehension score. The classification of control group reading comprehension can be seen
from the following table:

There are two conclusions of this research based on the objectives of the research:
1. The first is to find out students reading comprehension that is taught by using Sequencing
Strategy. After conducting the research, the students reading comprehension is taught by
using Sequencing Strategy of the second year students at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru and to
find out students reading comprehension that is not taught by using Sequencing Strategy.
After Conducting the research, the students reading comprehension that is not taught by
using Sequencing Strategy of the second year students of MA Hasanah Pekanbaru is
categorized as Enough level (64.73)
2. The last conclusion is to investigate whether any significant difference or not of the
students reading comprehension that is not taught and that is taught by using Sequencing
Strategy of the second year students at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru. After conducting the
research, the writer found that there is significant effect of the students reading
comprehension that is not taught and that is taught by using Sequencing Strategy of the
second year students at MA Hasanah Pekanbaru.
