Reading comprehension in question is reading the text, working on questions using the SQ4R method. The problem that occurred in this study was the low reading comprehension and students' lack of confidence in English texts.
The subjects in this study were 27 students of class 7C at SMP Islam Maarif 02 Malang. The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a research design according to (Cameron-Jones: 1983). Data collection methods used are tests, observations and field notes. The instruments used were observation sheets, multiple choice question sheets, and field notes.
The results of this study were successful in Cycle 1, at the 1st meeting, the preliminary test, with the target students whose scores were above the minimum score of 70 with an achievement of only 48% and the 3rd meeting, in the test, the target students whose scores were above the minimum score of 70 increased to 93% and the category was very good.
